yes, normally thats something they carry in stock, but might be out of. I
believe, or know of, two different kinds of disconnects, depending on vehicle
manufacturer. the cheapo tools are harder to use, but oh well. My ford uses
the circle ones with a little nipple type thing on the inner hole. Hardest
part was getting it around the line. then simply push the doughnut into the
opening of the filter where the hose goes in. There are some ball bearing
type connectors inside. basically the tool pushes them back in and away from
the groove on the fuel line, allowing the line to be pulled off. Could be a
strugle at times, but such is life.
