I have the tool they sell to accomplish this. I took the clips off and gave it a go following the picture on the package. It doesn't want to budge it seems? Any insight or trick to this I should know? Thanks for any help here.

I have a set of these (plastic). The package said use the 3/8 tool for Ford fuel filters, not the 5/16. The 3/8 worked great.
In our area, it is commonplace for these connections to load up with mud, sand and road debris.... This can pack in behind the reatainer spring making it difficult to collapse the spring.... repeated efforts without cleaning the connection can even damage the springs so that they wont hold any more.
