2003 Protege 5 fuel line disconnect tool

[Rick Dog]

I have to remove the fuel pump assembly once again because the metal pump unit cover seems to be warped, leading to seepage/leakage. How do I disconnect those fuel lines? I bought a cheapo fuel line tool from Advance Auto, but it was a b**** to work right, and I had to finagle some other L-shaped tools to disconnect those lines. What does a Mazda dealer use? What do you use?

I'm frustrated,
Rick

lol I was thinking of the other end for some reason the blue and green ones at the end you can push the tubing up and find somthing to evenly push both sides of the clip back. but I have a tool I got a auto zone that is helpfull.

If you do not want to buy a special tool, you may use small flat screws. The following video is really informative to how to disconnect fuel supply lines ( It's in French but it's as clear as silent movies ) It's a PITA work and took me more than an hour not to mention how did I dealt with corroded screws. Mazda should have used better screws

This video is also great but I do not agree his suggestion to how to disconnect. All other items are helpful and deserve a great thank.
