This should be easy, but how do you disconnect the fuel line from the throttle body on a 2007 XB. On the 2004 you simply push the red button on the side and off it comes. The 2007 has 2 short levers and I’ve tried squeezing, pulling, pushing, sliding and nothing works.
Thanks in advance, Paul

I have not seen them but it sounds like you need to run to autozone and pick up a fuel line disconnect tool.

It will be a whole set of round adapters that will Push into the line to release the locks.

You need a service manual and parts book.

How much will a disconnect tool cost?
2004 Service manual only states "disconnect fuel line" it doesn't describes the process.
If someone can look at a 2007 manual maybe it elaborates, like "get a disconnect tool".

You just need a efi fuel line disconnect kit, sounds expensive hey ?. Well it aint here. its like 6 bits of round plastic of differing sizes for different diameter lines. your local super cheap, autobarn.bursons,(spare parts auto shop) will have one. Cost no more then 10 bucks.

Thanks everyone, I'm just going to disconnect at the frame. I acted on the assumption it should come off easily so hopefully I haven't screwed it up.
