Green Fuel Pipe Connector

pete r · Feb 28, 2013

I tried replacing the green fuel pipe on my 02 Discovery today due to it being worn on the chassis and leaking, however I couldn't release the end with the square connector on it.

I realise you have to squeeze the two tabs in and pull, but I may have knackered something as I rotated the connector 90 degrees to be able to get to the other tab, as it was tight up to the chassis.

I can now get to both tabs but I don't seem to be able to squeeze them in enough to release it, any tips on how to get it off?

Thanks.

push forward before pulling back and squeeze harder would be my advice.

Done these myself a couple of weeks ago, absolute pigs are those square connectors. I used circlip pliers to prise them apart while squeezing the blocks.
