Yes you can just take two flat head screw drivers and push that ring around the disconect in. It should pop right out.

I don't know why everyone suggest using 2 flat screw drivers. I tried that method...it's kind of a pain in the ***. just do what I did, go out and buy the fuel line disconnect tools...easy as hell then.
one of these...


or what I have...3rd biggest one works

I don't know why people buy special tools for it, two flat head screw drivers has it off in like 2 second flat.

I'm just giving you a hard time to each there own.

tried the disconnect tools they suck due to space limitations. They screw drivers worked great.

wow, ok...like the guy said above to each is own. I wouldn't really call them special tools tho. they are cheap and for me alot easier to use than trying to hold 2 screwdrivers plus pulling the hose off at the same time. for me I didn't have really any issues with the limited space...popped the fuel line tool around the hose and slid it towards the tranny...came right off.
