Fuel line clip on fuel filter is broken! Help...

[sambo101]

So I went to change the fuel filter just yesterday. There are two lines that have to be un clipped from the rear end side of the fuel filter.

One of the clips is mangled and I cant get it off at all, whoever did it last made a mess of it!

Anyone have any tips or tricks to help me with these clips if they are in a bad way? It won't come off at all, looks like the part of the clip that you push in is destroyed!

Pic for reference:

They're supposed to be pressed in like buttons mate, not taken off!!

Push the line towards the filter firmly to release the tension on the clip, then push it in until you hear or feel a little click, the line should then pull off.

Hey sorry, yeah I know how to take them off I should have said.

The problem is the black one, like above, on mine is totally mangled and the clip part that you push in its all messed up and broken.

Maybe the person before tried levering one off. Some are a pain though! I did 2 in about 30 seconds and the last one took 30 mins and fuel in my eye!

I did mine in about the same time and fuel in both eyes
