you need either the correct pliers or three hands. One hand each with a screw driver to hold the tabs in, and third hand to pull the pipe/filter apart....and then watch as the petrol poors directly in your eyes. ::)

I messed around with screwdrivers for ages, some would come apart easily some would be a right pain so I spent a few quid on the pliers and its now a 2 minute job. Well worth the money ;)

If you break them they are only 77 pence from Vauxhall Dealer. I am changing my filter at the weekend and bought two new clips with the filter incase I break them. ::) :y

I was refering to the plastic clips that hold the fuel pipe on to the fuel filter. :y
I really meant that if you accidentally break one they are cheap enough to replace.

I don't think the clamp will work because it will be trying to push the clips in from the side. :(
I think you want the set of pliers in the picture above it which push the release ring into the fitting to push the clips out :y
