This webpage displays a large number of fuel line disconnect tools. You should be able to find one of them at AutoZone or Pep Boys. Make sure you're buying the one for your car model's year.

ya kinda have to wiggle the tool into the gap between the filter & clamp. it took me a few tries to get it in there right, then just pull it from the clamp. it's in there pretty good, so don't be easy on it. that should work, if it doesn't i don't know what to tell you

what size are you using? i used the light blue one, 3/8 i think, found it easier than the one on the website i gave you(the grey one). just keep wiggleing them, but some gas might fall on you, so beware, good luck o yeah, and i returned those tools, too freaking expensive, dont care how many come in the set, 12 bux is too much for plastic tools
