I have some plastic elbo fittings on the fuel filter, and I can't get them off. The hose won't slip off the fitting, and the fitting won't slip off the filter's metal tubes. View picture here: Picture Link (http://new.photos.yahoo.com/carsoncity58#page1) Anyone know how to remove it???

You have to squeeze the fitting and pull up on the tabs. Thats the best way I know how to explain it.
Needless to say it is difficult at best.
Kia makes a tool for it but I dont think it is available to the public.

After considerable effort I've finally gotten the lines off the fuel filter. My inexperience is costing me -
Fuel filter (NAPA)=$15,
universal tools (AutoZone)=$9,
2 new fuel lines (KIA)=$75,
MAJOR frustration=Priceless
