Fuel Filter

I have a 1996 F150 4.9L. I was wondering if you need a special tool to remove the clamps to change the inline fuel filter?

Yes, they are cheap and available at any parts store. It slides up into the fitting to release the clips. Just be sure to releave the fuel pressure before you remove a line or gas will spray everywhere.

I was just under my truck, and there is hose running to either end of the filter not tubing. It looks like there is a U clip, half attached around the hose fitting and the other half locked on the filter. Would I still need a removal tool, or would they just pop off.

Yes, the tool opens the clips on the inside to release it from the nipple on the filter.
