take the preasure off the fuel line by unpluging the fuel cut off switch in your trunk then run the motor till it dies. Then disconnect the fuel lines, very little fuel will come out. put on a long sleave shirt some latex gloves and tape the sleaves tight around your rist hold a rag in your hand while your disconnecting it .No problems.

oh yea, when you get it back together,plug your fuel cut off switch back in then run the motor for just a sec then bleed the air out of the line by using the valve that looks like a tire valve stem on the pass. side fuel rail .Rap a towel around your hands while you do this. press in on the stem inside untill you get fuel coming out. then you are good to go

+++++++++1 to gee.
Definately unplug the fuel cut off and run the pressure out.. follow everything else he posted. ^^^^

The tool... just stick it in and pull it out. It didnt take me but about 3 minutes. Thats what the girlfriend said anyway..

dont forget to open ur gas cap when doing that... if its on a hot day (like when I changed mine) and you forget to remove the gas cap, there could be enough enternal pressure to keep the fuel moving w/out the pump... took me 10 min for hte car to shut up w/ the gas cap on
