trying to replace my fuel filter

got the pressure relieved and can't get the darn lines off. The repair manual said to depress and pull.
I've tried and it won't come off.

I have 01 Jetta gls 2.0. 4 cylinder.

Any help appreciated.

 

The connector is called "quick connect fitting" and it says to depress the tab and pull.

I see no tab and it don't seem quick-lol

Any help appreciated.

I imagine I'll be forced into buying some dumb "quick connect" tool.

Geez, had that thing on stands in 1 min. I spent almost an hour trying to figure that thing out.

Sorry for venting.
