As I said, I removed mine with a specialist tool.

A hacksaw.

2 small scredrivers holding down the tabs and pull off

Rick

I can't actually see any tabs as such.... I think it's the same fitting as on a fiesta fuel filter outlet. I've got a braided metal hose to connect to it instead of the plastic one, which will go straight to the filter bypassing the accumulator. This looks to be some push fitting. I take it when i get the plastic bit off, I just shove the metal pipe into the new fitting and it will snap home?

is it these type of connections?
if so put the screwdriver where the arrows are

Rick

Nigel - huge thanks - it is this type.

However - the white piece in your picture is no longer attached - it cracked so i forced the rest off. I take it what i should be leavering/pressing on with the screwdrivers is now exposed? i.e. what your actually pushing on isn't part of the white piece.

it should be a metal quick release connector
as soon as it is moved down slightly it releases the pressure and can get pulled off,sometimes they are a very tight fit and are hard to pull off

Rick

will have a go today - appreciate your help.

Rick

Dremel to the rescue.... Wouldn't budge so i had to get physical. The new braided line with metal fitting snapped straight onto the fuel line, so hopefully it's sealed.
