Default changing intake

I have worked on a lot of older corvettes but this is the first time I am pulling the intake off my C6 does anyone have any instructions, how do you get the fuel line apart? it looks like it takes a special tool? Also does the replacement need to be tightened down any special way.
Thanks I feel a little dumb about this one!

Do a search there are a couple of threads on this with good write ups. I did mine and it is easy.

you don't need to discount the fuel line if you want to take the intake off.

Treadhead on the LS2GTO.com forum gave a lot of that info that was GTO specific and many of the pics. I've only done 1 GTO myself and gave some alternatives there. I've done 3 Vettes but never took pics That was a mistake I'll soon rectify. The Vette notes are pretty much mine with some good ideas from Joe_G over here. I've got great customers who are very knowledgeable and I appreciate their notes and comments! I'm just happy I could host consolidate and host it
