Default There are little pins on both sides ....

I used a needle nose plyers to get them off, basically you have to push in from the top, and then pull off toward the front or rear.

Make sure you have a bucket or pan nearby as the fuel will come out, but not that much.

Default Be very careful if you use pliers >>>

Some have broken their fuel lines using that approach. It took me a few minutes but I was able to get them off without any tools. If I were going to use pliers, I would use a small vice grip to squeeze the fitting, then wiggle it off by hand.
