94gt- i think mine might be a slightly different set up then you cause there is no plastic retainer to break off ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

its those special ford fuel fittings, you must get a tool to get the fuellines off without the tool you won't be able to do it. Also the tool has to be the right size otherwise it won't work. They are just a big pain especially the fuel filter ones you just need to keep working at it.
94gt - his fuelfilter lines aren't like our 94-95 model.
