Default Need help before I break something

Hey Guys,
I am starting engine tear down for H/C pkg. The s/s braided 6" fuel hose that connects to the fuel rail has me stumped. Each end has a clip that is easy to remove. Now what is the next trick to remove it? I am afraid to pull on it to hard. Thanks Frank

Get a fuel line tool. It slides inside the end to unhook the clips, then the hose just pulls right off. Otherwise find 2 crescent shaped pieces of something that you can push inside behind the clips to do the same thing.
