You'd have to use a fuel line disconnect tool. It's doesn't cost more than $10 and is very usefull. When using this tool you push it in the connections between the flexible line and the hard line, tabs inside the connections will be dipressed by the tool and seperates.

I bought a tool and still couldn't do it the first couple times I pulled mine. What I did was to unbolt them, and lift them with the injectors attached off the intake and out of the car. That made it easier for me.

Why not just pull the fuel rail and injectors out of the intake and set the rail off to the side. It works for me everytime. I've got the motor out of my car, and my fuel rail is still connected and sitting off to the side under the hood supported of course. The only time I will buy a fuel rail tool is if I need to get a new fuel rail

it has been a while but you should see some black ruber rings near the intake. close you tool around the lines on the intake side of the fuel lines and push the tool up under thoes rubber rings and i think u just squeez the tool and pull up and they should pop up.

The injectors will come out with the rail. I take a screwdriver or prybar and very gently put it under the crossover tube in the front of the intake and gently pop it up. The front couple injectors will come out of the intake. Then you can use your hands to pop the rest out and set it to the side. You might be able to use your hands to pop all the injectors also. Have a rag handy to sop up any fuel that comes out.

to use the tool you just ram it up into the fitting, if it dosent work rotate it a bit and try again. Eventually youll get the right spot. Is really easy.

I had the same problem when i first tried to take mine off. squeeze the lines and the tool together and youll hear a click. then pull the line it should slide right off.
