SOLUTION, WITH PICS, IN OTHER POST (BELOW)
Somewhere I recall "push the connector inward, then it will pull off", but I may be mistaken. Is there more to it? Some Fords have a similar setup, but you have to use multiple picks (or their special tool) to 'hold' an internal 'lip' back in order for the connector to pull-off. Big fun. But KJ connectors... any 'tricks'? I'm removing the first flex line that runs from the tank-top fitting to the beginning of the metal line, and the quicker I can swap-in the kennedy pump fuel-line setup, the better. I've got the tank sufficiently lowered to proceed, so a clear explanation from someone who has actually removed the supply-connector at the tank fitting would be hugely appreciated. Meanwhile, I'll softpaw the connector to see if it really is as simple as "push-pull". Thanks!
-If this is explained in a million other threads, sorry, but imo LJ's search-engine algorithms suck. You can vary keywords all day and still not find the most relevant thread. Given that fact, I advise other thread-starters to include associative keywords with the first post. In theory, subsequent posts to the topic/thread shouldn't need to bother. Using effective, relevant keywords should enhance searchability, thereby reducing both LJ members' search-frustration as well as thread-topic redundancy.
