are you replacing your fuel rail covers? if so you dont need to take off your braided lines. I just taped the new fuel rail covers up with blue painters tape and installed.

yep..... You'll need a special tool to take the line off. Tape the line and the edges of the FRC and run it through the gap slowly and you'll be done in just a few minutes.

Dealer has special tool. They took mine off for me in 5 minutes at no charge and put them back on three weeks later after I had Chad airbrush flames on them.
