"Fuel Rail Disconnects

You must buy or borrow disconnect tools to disassemble the fuel rails. These are sold as disconnects for Ford fuel and AC fittings in most stores. There are two different styles to this tool. The cheaper version is shown in the first photo below. They are one-piece design. The more expensive version is a two-piece design, it springs open and closed. Both versions work very well. Here are a few different views of these fittings to ad your in there removal.

Here is a visual explanation on the removal of these fittings. I have found that you have to twist while pushing the disconnect tool into the cage. This helps ensure the spring spreads over the female fitting. Once the spring is spread over the female fitting, you have to pull the two ends apart. They are relatively durable fittings so don’t be afraid to use some force to help the O-rings slide. Remember these are sealed to over 100PSI and they have been connected for how long?
