The crows foot that is important is the 19mm for the line coming off the fuel cooler. Easiest way to do it with a long extension and ratchet. There are other ways of course but a quick snap on the connector makes it come off easy. Seen too many rounded off when trying to put a 19mm wrench on a very tight, bad angled area. If no one has one I'll bring mine.
24mm wrench is for the damper line at the front.
Some Kroil helps on all of them, if you can pre-soak the line at the front passenger side this will help also. That's the one the flare wrenches help the most.
I'll add the 19mm croswfoot - missed that. It's 3/8 drive so I'll bring a 1/2 to 3/8 adapter. Between the Cap'n and me we'll have a few things covered.
Computer model forecast has improved for the past 4-5 runs (several days). Feeling pretty confident in CLEAR and in the LOW 70s (can't beat that...especially if the AC isn't working). Below is 12 Noon Greenwich time, or 7:00 AM Eastern time.

On my 1987 the nuts on the fuel cooler lines were 17mm. A regular wrench just didn't feel right on these fittings, so, before I rounded it off, I took a break for a couple of days and waited for a special tool to arrive - a 17mm flare crow's foot:
The demo car for the fuel line tech session is a 1991 GT, so maybe it has 19mm fittings on the cooler vs. 17, but I put the 17mm crowfoot into my glove box just in case it ends up being needed.
