Guys.... i cant friggin believe i did this!!!!!
I'm cleaning up getting ready to go to a buddy's for a few beers. Being agitated that I broke all of those clips, i'm trying to think of what i did wrong... i've NEVER had that much trouble with gas lines before. Granted, it's been a few years since i've worked in the shop...
Then it dawned on me. Those are QUICK CONNECT FITTINGS and you DONT REMOVE THE CLIPS!!!!! The clips aren't meant to be removed, that's why they're breaking!!
Want to add salt to the wounds? I have the proper tools to disconnect them!!!!
S-O-a-B.
So here's what you do...
1) Push lines "into" each other. You'll notice that you can push/pull and the lines will move a bit, you need them compressed together.
2) Put proper sized fuel line tool over the rail and PUSH it into the fitting.
3) With the tool pushed in, pull the lines apart.
Whaaaaaaaala, DONE. To reconnect you just push them together.
Fuel line tools are cheap and sold at all autoparts stores:
