How-To: Disconnect a Ford CCD Fuel Rail Connector from the Fuel Line

This is a quick little How-To describing procedures to disconnect a Ford CCD fuel rail from the rubber fuel supply line. It's a little tricky if you don't have the special tool to disconnect the fuel line and it's almost impossible to disconnect without applying equal pressure to the entire retainer spring for the fuel line connector. For this tip, you need a business card (that you don't want to keep), a pair of scissors, a flat-tip screwdriver and an open mind.

1: Remove the safety clip that holds the fuel connector in place. You might need a small flat tip screw driver to get it started.
2: Next, fold the business card in half and cut a 3/4 inch section out of the folded side, like the example images. Note: for our "special tool" we used a Brenspeed business card, but the only reason why is because we call them so much their number is on speed dial.
3: With the folded section towards the inside of the CCD connector's retainer spring, wrap the business card around the whole connector and push the card into the slot, unseating the retainer spring.
4: With the retainer spring unseated, simply pull the CCD connector apart.
