You will need some disconnect tools to get the fuel lines off the rail. I know Lisle makes them and they can be bought for around $15 for the set at an autoparts store. Should be on a black rail and the disconnect tools are white in color.

I cut a piece of sheet metal and used that as the tool as I didn't grab the right size...

but if that fails, disconnect the lines at the fuel filter, it's usually easier to get apart there, that's where I did it the last couple times I had my engine out...
