Try the fuel line again. Insert the tool, make sure it goes all the way in, then try and push the line ON first, then see if it will come off.

Sometimes it is the supposedly "easiest" steps that are the most time consuming.....

pull the snap clasps off, and twist the injectors on their axis a few times each.. gently.. go all the way around the manifold.. this will break whatever grip the o-rings have on the things.. then pull one side up, unseating two injectors at a time.. the other two per rail will be even easier..

How do I get the upper radiator hose off??? I got the clip off but I swear its glued on...

Nvm... Ima just spray it with some wd40 and twist the crap out of it. If it still doesnt come off ima just cut it...

insert a small to medium screwdriver between the hose and the radiator spout, and then slide it around the spout to break the seal.

I'll wager you bought a fuel line disconnect that had too shorts collar to work properly. If you bought the five pack that are round and 5 different colors, they suck.

And by suck, I mean they blow

to disconnect the fuel line you need to push the fuel line IN while pushing the disconnect IN from the other side, then you keep pressure on the fuel line disconnect towards the line and pull the line off.

It is not meant to come off easy, but i had the same problem until I learned how to take it off.

Push in on the fuel line towards the fuel rail nipple
Push in from the fuel line disconnect tool to the fuel line.

nevermind, saw you got it off.

Problem being, this thread is too old. Props for searching though.
