How to disconnect FRONT FUEL CONNECTION beside engine? With pics

[Karpiel73]

How does someone disconnect this?? Just man up and pull? 2001 Sport. Its an early model 4.0 (basically a year 2000 engine with 2001 body style)

I need this back on the road saturday and I'd be hugely grateful if someone explained how.

Special tool like this.

Pick the size that fits over the line snug.

Push it forward, the long flat edge goes in first, to unlock the spring inside and then while holding the tool in pull the lines apart carefully.

You can get the set at AutoZone too.

Thank you shucker! I didn't realize i could use a disconnect tool like the ones for fuel filters on this connection It came right out. We all ask dumb questions from time to time...right? lol

Better for you to ask than some of the things seen done by those afraid to ask.

As stated above by @Turdle .

No such thing as a dumb question.

I used these for the fuel lines on my 97, they were not my first choice, as my first choice where the cheaper ones that I fumbled with for over an hour and would not work (flimsy plastic). Took them back to the big "O" parts store and got the ones in the picture. The rainbow assortment of sizes in the picture cost more but work great!
