Fuel line disconnect tool
Which style of line disconnect tool works best? I've not used any yet.

Do the plastic ones work OK on both? Saw someone on YouTube use the white plastic ones and it seemed to be fine, but not sure for the AC lines.
This part of the fuel line to disconnect from the metal lines in and out:

I used the type at the first link, cheap set bought at my store, for when doing my radiator to take the lower tranny line off.
So really can't comment on how it would work for fuel.
The one thing I can say is that make sure you get all the crap out of there before you use the tool.
The crap prevents you from getting the tool in as far as you need to.
Fuel line being higher up probably less of an issue though.

From what I read in reviews, I should look closely at them to see that the leading edge is thin to get past the clip inside the fitting.

What is going on with the lower connection on the front rubber fuel line? The part connected to the line from the tank.
How does that come off the metal line?

^^^^ That part doesnt come apart without destroying the line.
Also, I have all three of the tools you listed. The plastic ones work on most things. The multicolored aluminum ones work great for what they fit in. I have been in a few scenarios where the metal ones just wont fit. But if I remember right, I had to use the metal ones for the AC stuff since they had a spring inside the clip.

Do I have to replace the whole freaking line from rail to filter just to replace that rubber part?
