Fuel Line Connections

I have been dealing with my fuel pump issue for a few months now. Winter is coming so I finally dropped my rear tank. It is steal and my owners manual says it should be 18 gallons. I cannot figure out the gas line connections as they are not plastic. I did the pump on my 2006 Ranger and broke the factory connectors that were plastic and the aftermarket provided clips to replace them. I cannot do the same with this pump. What do I do to disconnect them? Can I buy just a pump without the sending unit attached. There are so many options for tanks and pumps that fit them when I search online. Thanks

You need a fuel line disconnect tool to push into the head of the fuel line to release the tabs holing it in place. Couple of bucks at any automotive parts store.

OK thank you. It kind of looks like that was something that I needed to do and I have heard of those tools you're talking about. I tried uploading pictures twice but they failed to load for some reason. I will know by the weekend if my truck runs again thanks again.
