Default aw4 cooling lines....

I'm sorry I did search and this feels like a easy question but the removal of the plastic things on the fittings that hold the two lines together have me stumped.... also bad cell pics

aw4 cooling lines....-forumrunner_20130402_134429.jpg so its the little ends sticking out of where the line goes in



aw4 cooling lines....-forumrunner_20130402_134447.jpg and this one is a little tougher to see but its left of the sunshine, different fitting with same plastic thing holding it on

Thx

Are they duck bill clips?

They are similar to fuel line/ac clips. You need to push both tabs down and in. Easy with the right tool. Pain in the *** to do without them.

They both need to be pushed in at the same time. You can't do one side at a time.

Man I lived in Kelowna a while and NAPA and Lordco had ridiculous prices for everything. For the disconnect tools check Princess Auto, they'll probably have em.

ok so went to lordco and we quessed what ones they were and they gave me two different fuel clips to try, (didnt get the tool) and yes those are a pain in the *** and hands to do without the tool.. well ounce i got them out i found that both types of clips i had didnt fit, one was very close but wouldnt fit.
il get the right ones tomorrow.

lordco is reasonably priced but way more expensive than the states (but everything is here) and napa generaly is no match for lordco,, saddly the nearest princess auto to me is kamloops and thats too far without a car but ya there prices are nuts its jjust that their stock changes so much,, and i hate to ask for help at princess cause they are beyond usless at anything other than reading the box lol
