Hey yall, I'm new to this forum and looking for some help. While trying to replace my fuel filter on my ranger, I broke the plastic clips on the fuel line from the gas tank. Which was the last thing I was trying to do (why are they engineered SO FRAGILE). The green little plastic clip is completely exposed on half of it. I still couldn't get it off and never get it off.
1. How do you actually take these off. I have that little circle plier tool. First I squeezed and pulled out. Then I learned you have to push in and pull out. So I squeezed, pushed in, and pulled out, and it broke.
2. Since it never came off, is it save to drive? I have to go to the junkyard tomorrow for a bumper anyways.
3. Do i have to get the whole line? Or can I just buy the clips and repair it somehow?
thank yall

 

Maybe this video will help. Be advised, it's going to be a pain in the ****! LOL
