Fuel pump hose connector opening on FE 2009 -->

Hi,
How to open fuel pump hose connector(s) on 2009 FE 450? I'm replacing the fuel pump assembly, and simply by pulling, twisting or slightly pressing the round(ish) connectors I cannot get the hose connectors to open. Trying to avoid excess force and not to break anything in the first place. I suspect that pulling is not the correct way to open the joint because of the 3.5 bar pressure in the hose.

Use a small screw driver or dental pick and carefully pry outward the four retaining clips. They sort of snap open. Once you get all four out, the connector comes apart easily.

Thanks, it worked, the four retaining clips snapped back easily with very little effort, one by one. After that rest of the fuel pump replacement job was easy.
