It's easier than you think. Go to the local auto parts and buy some fuel line disconnect tools. You can get a set for a few bucks. If not, I believe you'll need two sizes - 3/8" and 1/2".

The removal is simple. Slide the black retaining clips from the fuel couplers. Slide the tool onto the line...onto the side of the coupler where the clip once was. Slide the tool into the coupler...jam it in there...that releases the coupler. Pull apart fuel line.

Don't forget to grease the O-rings on the coupler before you re-assemble.

Hope this helps!
