How do i remove the fuel lines from 3.2 fuel filter...?

[killer_bunny]

I have serviced my 3.2 today and all was well until it come to the fuel filter, ive tried and tried to remove the black clips either side of the fuel filter which connects the hoses and they wont budge, i can see the little plastic tabs but have tried squeezing them and still wont come off, any tips?

Push the pipe connector further onto the filter and then squeeze the release tabs, and pull off. I take it that they are a standard ramond type quick connector with 2 tabs opposite each other?

I have even had to use (modified) pliers to depress the tabs sometimes. This needs care though as to not cause damage.
