I am going to replace the driver's side valve cover gasket next weekend, I have reviewed the Ford workshop manual and everything looks relatively easy.
One thing I am not clear on is the fuel line disconnect. The manual calls for a spring lock coupling disconnect tool (412-038). It shows a clam shell like configuration. I looked at that fuel line coupling and it looks like a clip holds it together and I should be able to just pop it off to be able to pull the coupling apart. Is there something else I am going run into that requires that tool for disconnection?
I don't mind buying a tool but I don't want to buy something I don't need.
