Need Fuel Filter Help

**is_a4** · 08-23-2008 07:57 PM

I'm halfway done with replacing the filter. I got both the fuel lines from the rear of the car out and into the new filter but can not get the two hoses towards the engine. I've tried finger squeezing them, pliers, etc.

I'm talkin' about these hoses. (Took this picture from another thread.) Its 10PM over here, need help ASAP. Thank-you.

You gotta push the tabs in on each side and they will pull off.

There doesn't seem to be any tabs on the ones pictured above or on mine.

Yes there are, you can see them in the pic you posted

The one on the bottom right of the pic you posted looks broken where you would normally push in

When you squeeze them, push twards the filter, then pull off. HTH

Theres no tabs on the ones toward the engine. I did this yesterday.

Theres just a 1/2 ring right at the end of the clip (point A) that you squeeze with needle nose pliers and pull them off
