I bought all of these spring lock tools figuring one would get it off but still no luck.

Am I missing a tool?

Thanks,
Clay

 

Oh and I've been looking at the how to thread and it says just to disconnect them. The 3/8" disconnect fits in the whole perfect but it doesn't want to release that clip inside..

 

I had troubles too I ended up bringing mine in, would like to know this for next time.

 

i just use a flat head and push forward then they pop off.

 

the one on the far right is all u need

 

^^^^ Yeah I was gonna say those colored ones are junk. I have 2 of those metal scissor release things and they release every line in my truck. I can go get the sizes of each if you need them.

 

I have those middle ones and they work perfect for mine...

What I do is
-Put the tool around the line.
-Then push the line towards the filter
-Slide the tool under the line while holding the line toward the filter.
-Then the line should slide right off.

 

I have had trouble with the lines on the tank before. spray them down good with pb blaster to help loosen them up.

 

Sorry guys been a crazy hectic day. Thanks a ton for the replies! I ended up just pulling and twisting and it eventually came off. And I was able to get the old fuel pump out and the new one in. This is actually the second pump on the truck since I've owned it. Had a shop do the first one 2 years ago and he must have used the cheapest fuel pump you can buy. I got a Bosch Fuel pump with a lifetime warranty so Hopefully it won't go out again. I then ran into a snag with the fuel filter after. I didn't realize that when I got the fuel lines off the filter that a piece from the line got jammed onto the filter and when I put the new one on and turned the truck on fuel spued everywhere and couldn't figure out why soooo I got it towed again to a shop where my buddy works and he showed me what was wrong and then he also fixed my loose drive shaft that i had no idea of lol so long day, missed out on some work but the truck is back on the road for now ha. Long story but thought I'd share.
