Here's some detailed instuctions.

1. Remove oil fill cap
2. Tug on right cover.
3. If right cover isn't off yet, repeat step 2.
4. Tug on left cover.
5. When cover pops loose, twist the cover to open the seam and allow the fuel line(s) to pass through it.
6. If left cover isn't off yet, go back to step 4.



In all seriousness, they are simply snapped in place. Not a stupid question if you don't know...but you'll get a laugh once you have them off.
