Fuel Filter Change

Does anyone have experience with changing a fuel filter on a 2000 F150 4.2? I know where it is. I just can't figure out how to remove the fuel lines and metal clips that run into the filter. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

There is a quick-disconnect tool you need, which can be purchased at any local automotive store, such as napa or autozone.

You dont "actually" remove the clips from the fuel lines. You push them down from there current position and slide them out the way to insert the tool into the fuel filter connection.
