You will have to get the special 2001 Grand Am fuel filter factory clamp relase tool from your autoparts store. Some of the stores will lone you one for a deposit.
those tools are just plastic and dont work worth a crap
Funny, the one's I use and have used for a number of years are plastic. They work quite fine. Often, it's not a problem with the tool, but with the person who is operating the tool.

ouch, pwnt...
LOL. We have a bunch of different brands and types, and there's always one that releases any spring or clip.....it doesn't mean the hose wants to come off though....so sometimes a little effort is involved, but that's the hose's fault, not the tool's GW

I thought you said you couldn't handle the plastic tool? A tool is only idiot proof if the person using it is not an idiot.
