Need help removing fuel tank

I'm stumped.

The two rubber hoses that go from the sending unit to the metal lines along the frame rail seem to be crimped on at both ends, at the sending unit, and at the metal lines on the frame.

How are these removed???

I stuck my hand up there and took some pics blind, and this is what I got.

How do these hose clamps come apart?

You'll need a quick disconnect tool. They carry them at all the part houses.

what he said, there's a spring clip inside that flange that needs to be released. Autozone part# 25052 has what you need.

That's it? Just them ring things? They don't have some kind of tool holder or something that goes with them??

Yes, that is it. They simply clip on around the connection and allow you to disconnect the line.
