How in the HELL do you remove the fuel filter? I've got both metal clips off on either side of the filter but the metal collars that actually attach to the filter are not budging no matter how much strength I use to try to pull them apart. Is there some sort of trick I'm missing? This is ridiculous...

Nevermind, special tool required. Got it after a whole ton of cussing.

Hope you didn't hurt anything!?!?

A good resource for basic Mustang maintenance is the BULLITT Archive Home Page
