What's the trick on disconnecting the supply line fitting from the fuel rail? It's appears to have a plastic clip of some sort but I can't figure out the trick to release it. I'm replacing the broken throttle body on my '06 XB12X

Looks like some of the connectors my Saab uses... the red clip pulls perpendicularly (whew! Glad I had spell check for that one) out of the connector from its "big side", after you release the other side of the red part from some places where it hooks over.

May not be the same, but they look a lot alike.

Thanks for the idea Reepicheep

I was actually over-thinking it -- I need to remember KISS (keep it simple stupid) when this idiot works on it. All I had to do was push down on the red part (release) and the fuel line disconnects.
