Gently push off the pipe,but important you need to CLAMP both the pipes to stop any fuel leakage.

Done mine today, used a small flat headed screwdriver.

Leave the car overnight before you do this, pressure in the pipes will be reduced so therefore you wont get covered in too much fuel.

Its advisable to wear a long sleave top when doing this aswell as some gloves, that is unless you want petrol treacling down your arm and into any open wounds.:wacko:

Use 2 screwdrivers, one to push the yellow part of the clip in and the other to gently prise the clip away from the filter.
