Fuel Filter Change

[DF5.4]

I'm about to change the fuel filter on my 2007. I found the filter and have the tool to take the hose off the single side of the filter. The side with 2 hoses has what looks like a different kind of clamp. How do I release those clamps?

I found some info about the blue clips. It looks like i just need to pop out the center tab and squeeze the outer tabs and they should come off. I'm not going to get to it today. Maybe sometime this week.

the Tabs do just push in, sometimes they get dirt in behind them makeing it very hard to release. spray a blast of pb, then you can get them out much easier, worse case use 2 small flat screw drivers to pry them in, we run into this all the time on the jeeps.
