I am replacing the fuel strainer on my 2003 VMAX 150 hpdi. I understand the process is as follows to remove the "Not So Quick Disconnect"fitting. The silver piece that connects to the strainer.
1) Slide the collar up to the filter
2) depress the black ring that is exposed when you do step 1
3) pull the filter out of the fitting.
I am stuck on step 1. I have been trying to pry the collar to expose the black ring. I can spin the collar, and can get it to move about 1/16 of an inch. I have gotten to the point that I am mauling the fitting by trying to pry the fitting to the filter .
Can you help me with a handy trick to free up the collar and move it to the filter to expose the black ring.
Thanks in advance,
