Hi,
last night I tried to change the fuel filter on my 95 Ford Ranger.
Go the one line removed (towards the tank), but was unable to remove the
connection on the front of the fuel filter. What is the trick to do that?

Per Chilton's manual this connector type is called "duckbill" clip fuel
fitting.

I appreciate any suggestion you might have - thanks!

I have not done this but my Haynes manual says you may need a fuel line
coupling disconnect tool.

Go to Autozone and get the disconnect tool. They should know what you
need... it's a tool to release the spring inside the connector. It is a
little plastic thing that slips over the fuel line and into the connector,
releasing the spring.
