Anyone change their fuel lines?

if so how in the hell do i get the feed line off of the rail? i have the plastic tools that you use for the fuel filter and none of them seem to be the right size for the fuel line where it connects to the rail. anyone got any tips on how to get it off or what the exact size is that i need to use or how big the actual line is itself? thanks

I have always used the plastic tools. I'm not sure what you're doing wrong.

I used one similar to my fuel filter. Same style may have been another size but it was in the same pack. No issues here!

20" svt do you have anymore pics of the truck?

I used the $5 pack of five plastic tools I got at Checkers. NEVER had a single problem with them.

I could not get them off with the plastic ones from autozone. I went back and bought a metal buterfly type and they came right off.
