Hi guys,
So I'm replacing the fuel filter on my 2003 W203 coupe with 130k miles and it seems like the fuel filter has never been changed.
Anyways, I don't know the correct way to remove the clamps on the lines as I've never come across these type of clamps before.
Looking at Youtube videos and how-to-guides, I was expecting to see the worm clamp types with the screw to unloose and thought I'd re-use them. But when I got under the car, it threw me off and had to abort as
a) I didn't know how to remove the clamps without damaging the lines and
b) I didn't have spare worm clamps to replace them with.
Would be great if someone could advise me on how to remove these clamps + also advise me on the correct size clamps to buy.
Cheers
