How to disconnect fuel line on NB
I'm in the process of pulling a motor from a 99 and can't figure out how to disconnect the fuel line from the regulator. Do I need a special fuel line removal tool or is there a way to do it manually without damaging it?

Just use a screw driver, I have never used the tool and have also never damaged a fuel line from doing so.. But the tool does look easier. Its not like you have to pry on anything, push one tab in and pull the connector sideways so that tap goes past the lip, then push the opposite side while keeping the other off the lip. 2 minutes max

OK, I just cut the hard line before the line that goes to the regulator, because it's a part-out car and I wanted to get the motor out. Out here, we have to "go to town" to get to an auto parts store. I did get the nice anodized tools today and they do work great. I tried them out after I got home on the stub that I cut off. Thanks for the help.
