Cool so now thats over and done with, anyone want to let me know how the HELL you disconnect the fuel lines from these. The button on the lines are literally smaller than my thumbprint so I cant actually press them properly. Its stressing me out now as its the only service Item i have changed since I had the car. My hands are quite small too by the way.

I found that a flat-blade screwdriver (or the like) helped to push in the button. Also a large flat-blade screwdriver is good to prize the hose from the end of the filter: just put the blade in the gap (with the button down obviously) and twist gently if it's a tight fit. Saves pontential grazed knuckles when the connecter finally lets go all of a sudden. LOL
