[QUOTE="John Zuber, post: 1002932, member: 59842"] Success! Here is what I did. I purchased an aluminum 3/8 tool, sprayed lube into both fittings, cleaned off the exterior of both lines of any lube so that I could have a tight firm grip, had a helper (son) hold the filter so that I could push/pull without the filter moving, pushed each line toward the filter while inserting tool as far as it would go, then started pulling the fuel line off as I continued to try and move the tool with the line. That way the tool stays under the clips until it meets the filter flange. I think the problem yesterday is that the filter kept moving and thus I wasn't able to keep the tool under the clips as far as it was needed. Ford, stop calling this method "quick" disconnect. Thanks everyone for the help...and info [/QUOTE]
