Default ctsv fuel filter replacement

I hope someone here has done this.

I purchased a fuel filter for my ctsv and noticed that it had the quick connect metal connections (two on the backside). What is the best/easiest way to remove this filter. Is their a way to get the lines off without a special tool. If not, is this special tool easily found and sold at local autozones, and what size is it?

The one I use does not have a size on it. Any autoparts store will have a kit with different sizes in it. They are not expensive at all, get the whole kit.

All the kits i looked at were for A/C. The one specific fuel kit i found said it was for 1989+ GM fuel lines and had only two sizes in it, a 5/16 and 3/8 in it.... So, i hope i am all set now.
