At least I think they are "pinch fittings."
I am referring to the "quick disconnects" that join the steel fuel lines (running along the frame rail) to the nylon fuel lines from the fuel pump that join each other in the area of the cannister in front/bottom of the fuel tank.
(If it makes a difference, it is an '02 Sierra 1500 with 5.3.)
My question is: is there a trick I am not getting on getting thse to relaese so I can separate the steel lines from the nylon lines? I've just been pinching the the plastic connector where it protrudes over the steel line, but am I wrong about them being "pinch connectors" or am I missing something?
