I have a 96 Ford Explorer that needs the fuel pump changed. I'm going to do it myself, but I can't figure out how the fuel filler hoses come off the tank. They do not have standard hose clamps. They are completely metal. Anyone have any idea how I remove these?

Don't know specifics on the '96, but often times it's easiest just to loosen the whole fuel tube and drop it with the tank. Many times there are 3 8mm bolts inside the fuel door that you can loosen and the entire tube will come out with the tank.

the hose connections are similar to fuel line connectors, just bigger, I used large channel locks to compress mine enough to release the hoses
