07 Expedition white fuel filter clip removal

[heymichael]

Has anyone seen a clip on a fuel filter that looks like this? Any ideas on how to remove this filter? Thanks so much!

My 2006 is different but it looks like just pull the hose/plug off once you pull out the white clip

That's what I thought. Maybe I'm just not pulling hard enough?

Hmm.. Could be... If I remember right right doing mine a few months ago I had to tug on it pretty good and my buddies 07 he did he says the same thing

pull the white clip, then push the tube towards the filter just a bit.
then gently pull back to release it...depending on how long its been installed, the o-rings may be stuck. a little shot of wd 40 or similar may help smooth the removal
wear eye protection.

Still nothing, this thing is not coming off. It looks so simple but I can't find any pictures or video of another one like this. There is even a Youtube video of the same year Expedition that has a different type clip that you push in with a screwdriver. Has anybody out there ever seen this clip??

Are really giving the corn when you tug? Mine had clips that required some real force to get the hose off
