Leaking Fuel Injector Line

So i was driving home from a friends house yesterday, and when i turned my car it on, it took like 5 seconds before it turned over (very unusual for my car) then i started smelling gas through the air vents. When i got home, i opened the hood to full scent of gas, turned on the car and saw my fuel injector line just spraying gas all over my engine. This line, where im pointing at, there are two tiny holes and the gas just sprays out of that. Before i bring it into the shop, is this an easy fix? Can i do it myself? Any suggestions?

This fix looks pretty self explanatory. just need to replace the fuel line. ZZP carries the disconnect tool but i also found this at Autozone, Will this work?

OEM/Fuel line disconnect set for Ford and GM (27131) | Fuel Line Disconnect Tool | AutoZone.com

And i take this is the Fuel Line i need. What size should i buy?

Dorman/5/16 in. (8 mm.) x 12 in. with barbs flexible nylon fuel line repair (800-180) | Fuel Line Repair | AutoZone.com

Dorman/3/8 in. (10 mm.) x 12 in. with barbs flexible nylon fuel line repair (800-181) | Fuel Line Repair | AutoZone.com

Is there anything else i will need?

Thanks
 
He says that is going to be 15.95.. Just go ahead and give it to me and I will forward it to him.
 


I'd buy the 3/8"...but hell, what do I know...last set I did that to I just cut the plastic line, ran some rubber hose to both ends, and clamped it. LOL...**** safety.
 
how do i remove the two ends of the fuel line? i know i use a GM Fuel Line Remover Tool, but what about the other thats down the back side of the engine? it goes into like a metal clip/harness.
