Default Another fuel question

Ok, I got the system purged, but I cannot figure out how to get the fuel lines off. Looks like a braided line goes into the tank with a connector, but how do you get the connector to release? I don't want to force it, cause I already broke a 20 dollar peice of plastic tonight

I need a chiltons manual bad.

First off you need to make sure you are using the right sized tool. But you place the smaller end so that is slides into the fitting, and you squeeze the plastic thing closed. And push out at the same time. It compresses a spring inside the fitting which allows it to come off. They are really easy to remove if you are doing it correctly.

I got every size i could ever need on a nifty plastic holder, nice addition to my tool box. It cost me 10 dollars, well worth it to me. You can also get aluminum ones for like 6 each. O and I got them at O'reilys by the way
