I am replacing the sending unit and fuel pump on my 2000 Silverado. I have the tool to release the fuel line connectors but I cannot get the connectors off the existing module. I am using moderate force and twisting but no luck. I tried both with and without the release tool inserted.

Thanks

I finally got it. This morning I placed the tool on the new part and I could see the recessed area as it approached the "ring". I wasn't pushing the tool in deep enough.

Thank you for helping!
