Default Anyone have a pic of the tool used to disconnect the fuel line?

Im going to autozone to get the tool to disconnect the fuel line but i want to make sure i get the correct one so if you can post a pic of what the tool looks like exactly that would be great since with my luck im always given the wrong item and have to return.

thanks

Mine looks like a thread spool cut in half and a slot on one side (so it will slip around the like). And I haven't taken any pictures of it . Made of plastic, I got a pack of like 6 at autozone. Bunch of options and pics here: http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=15707681

Looks like they got you taken care of with the pics Alberto. The size you need is 3/8"

Also, there is a small metal clip holding the two together that you need to remove first. It just pries off easily.

I suggest you pull the fuse for the fuel pump (#20 in the engine bay) and start the car to burn as much fuel in the lines as you can. Alternatively, just leave the car sit overnight and the pressure will bleed off on its own.
