Trying to change my fuel filter on my '02 s40 turbo. I am not sure how to disconnect this type of "quick release connector" as it hasn't been very quick for me. The connector is at the front of the filter. I have no problem disconnecting the rear one.
I have tried a disconnect tool but it was generic and didn't fit in the space allotted.
Anyone know how to release this thing?



I would also like to replace the corroded fitting. I was told I have to replace the entire hose. The local Volvo dealer wanted $225 for all the lines (idiots working there). I found the single hose with connector online for $57. Seems there is no way to replace just the metal elbow connector.

 

buy a disconnect tool from a good volvo parts site like www.ipdusa.com they arent expensive as far as the fuel line i dont know hopefully somebody will respond to that issue

 

Thanks Seanq73,
I've looked at every Volvo and general auto parts websites. What I did come across that looks like might work is made by k-tool. Its a universal disconnect tool that is stupidly simple. Its a flat piece of aluminum with a V notch beveled on one side. Here is a demo, but I found mine on ebay for about ten bucks cheaper. Soon as it comes in I'll give it a try.
