Need Help, Getting the Fuel Lines Off

Ok, I'm in the process of during the Intake Manifold gaskets, since they are leaking oil out the back of the intake. But, I need help in getting the fuel lines off of the Fuel Rail, or going into the fuel rail. What speciality tool do I need to get those off, they look like the coupler for like AC. Can someone guide me in getting those off, or where do I get the tool to take those apart. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for all your help.

You need a 5/16 and 3/8 fuel line disconnect tool. Your favorite auto supply will have them. You push back the dust boot and slide the tool inside the bell of the connector to release the clips. You then pull outward. You might have to twist a bit, but don't get carried away. If you break a clip, you will have to get a whole new fuel line assy.

See the part of this diagram to the left of the word "or".

Thanks Shoebox, that's what I was looking for. Can you please tell me where I relieve the pressure from the fuel system. Is there a bleed valve somewhere that I'm missing. Again thanks a lot for your help it is greatly appreciated.

There is a schrader valve (like a tire valve) somewhere on the fuel rail. Not sure exactly where on the 1993 (it's different from other years). Use a rag to catch any spray. The longer the car has sat, the less pressure there will be remaining.
