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. |
