    I have lookd at many ov the pix showing the line QD fittings but my Taco has one that is different. It is a single block with both lines running through there are "finger like clamps extending arounding the lines hilding them in plage. I don't see any way to pry the lines out of the block or to seperate the "fingers" to looen the lines. My local NAPA guy is stumped too?
    Apprciate any help. Happier 2021

    That is a plastic lock/keeper. It will just pop off of the two quick-disconnects, then you can remove the fuel and return lines like normal. I think that it is there because they are "exposed" and Toyota wants to insure that they just don't pop off. Maybe?

    Just pull straight down, towards the ground, with it.

    OK thanks a lot guys I can see it now... BTW suffered a flat on my kisser fall last week when I "almost" cleared a fire hose stretched across the tarmac, mad me a little more "goofy" than usual so that's part of my situation for awhile. Thanks again...
