>Mike,

> On the fuel line disconnect-aint no flare nut wrench gonna get it off,
>and if you got the same kind as was on my '99, you gotta have the tool. I
>tried for 1 hour to get it off and make myself a way to unhook it. Just buy
>the tool- 2 types, 1 is a metal one that has 2 different sizes on either
>end and opens and closes like scissors, the other is a kit that gives about
>5 sizes in 1 packet. Metal one runs @ $8, kit runs about $13 at Autozone
>or Advance Auto Parts.
> You dont have to remove the valve covers, but if you got everything

>if you still got the gasket.
> If the truck sits for about 1-2 hours, the fuel pressure normally will

> Good luck, and plan for 6-8 hours including lunch.
