Default Fuel Line ?

I'm having trouble disconnecting my return fuel line, in order to tap in with the FMU that came with my supercharger. Does anyone have any advice to using the spring lock disconnect tool? I'm finding it real difficult to disconnect. Thanks guys.

Put it on the line, and push it into the connection. You'll feel it click, which means that the spring is out of the way. Keep pressure on it and pull it apart. Done.

hmm, I tried to do that but it would never click, maybe I had the wrong sizetool (even though the the box said it would work on ford 80-current)
I will try again tomorrow, thanks

Push the lines together and hold them while you put the tool in. Once you slide the tool in pull them apart.

Even if you can't hear it click just push it in as far as it will go and try to pull the line apart.

Sometimes twisting the line helps too.
