Regular SAE30R9 fuel hose is fine...no custom bending required. There is a bracket right up on top that keeps both HP pump hoses in their proper place. R9 is critical to resist harsh fuels and handle 65psi. Regular low pressure fuel line (R6 or R7) will burst. (It happened to me...400 miles from home...needed to do a MacGyver fix, but that's a different story)


The torx bit to remove the plastic engine covers is a male bit...Torx 30 if I recall correctly. The torx socket (female) is needed for the above bracket, and the front plate. That front plate removal needed a very short extension on my ratchet...about an inch.


When you have your engine covers off, check your injector return lines. I had one pop off and spill fuel, which makes it's way to the rear of the engine and drips down onto the bellhousing. That may be the source of your leak.
