Yes, you need a fuel line disconect tool. Its a plastic ring that you push onto the fuel line at ther filter and it releases the barbs that hold the coupling in place.
Get a set of different sizes at most auto parts stores. About $10 for a set.

Changing the filter evry time you change the oil is a great investment. The V-10 runs alot better with a clean filter. The gas now is so bad changing the filters are a "must do"
