Just keep Pulling more, I've had to use Sreawdrivers to pry the hoses off sometimes.

And if it's a real pain and you have enough just cut the hose's shorter.

almost postive you need a special/inexpensive tool to do this properly

go to Napa.....telll them which fuel filter you're removing....they'll likely stock it

another option would be to go to a ford Dealer Parts counter and ask the same question

I would refrain from yanking and prying with screw-drivers or you may end up needing a fuel line too

^What he said, depending on what style of locks are on it, but most likely you will need a tool for this, a pic of the problem area would help.

I have access to the technical manual CD that Ford Tech are using. So if you still need infos, i can have a look at it and come back.

Come back because it s all in the computer that i use in the garage when working on the car.
