I don't know the size for the LS7 but I think my LS2 took a 5/16. If you have a Harbor Freight store close by you can buy a four piece set for about ten bucks or less that will fit most any fuel disconnects.

A little trick for anyone that just needs to get the fuel rail out of the way temporarily to pull intake etc; instead of pulling the fuel line, just leave it connected, put a towel on the windshield, flip the fuel rail over while still connected and on to towel/winshield. Sometimes they are a bear even with the right size tool.

Another tip: If you don't want to end up spilling the fuel in the fuel rail all over the place, use the neoprene cap from a Fleet Enima bottle top cap the fuel rail. It fits perfectly.
