fuel filter problems
 

I have a 99 GT.
Trying to replace the fuel filter. Should be an easy job...
I can't get the filter detached from the fuel lines.
I pulled the clips, released the pressure as recommended, but can't get it disconnected. Pulling doesn't work.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
:confused:

did the fuel filter have metal clips on it or were they white plastic horseshoe clips? if metel you need a fuel line removal tool size 5/16s i think or if plastic clips should come off. good luck

96 gt motor out heads at machine shop coming along slowly.

" we dont burn rubber we make it beg for mursey" :D

I have the metal clips. Sounds like I need a special tool. Thanks!

Your car has duckbill type line locks and you need to use a fuel line lock release tool. About 8 bucks at any auto parts store. Do not try and seperate them by yanking on them, you ruin the locks and it is a pain in the arse to replace the fuel lines.

Thanks for the help.
Bought the tool and it worked like a charm.
