I have a 2003 Yukon XL, 5.3L, Flex Fuel (8th VIN Letter - Z)

Issue - After changing the plugs/plug wires and PCV Valve, I wanted to change the fuel filter as well. I noticed that one end of the fuel filter can be actually screwed off. The other end looks like the fuel line was pressed on the fuel filter some how. I read on the Internet about the "Lisle 35000 "Fuel Filter Disconnect Tool" but I don't know how this tool actually fits around my fuel line and removes it from the fuel filter. I felt around the fuel line/connection going into the filter and I didn't see or feel any clamps or springs.

So, if the tool is needed. How do I actually place this tool on the fuel line to remove it from the fuel filter?

That filter has locks inside of the fuel line, you have to place that tool properly in order to unlock it.
