Default fuel pump replacement

I am planning on replacing my fuel pump this weekend. I have been reading my repair manual and everything seems easy enough except for the removal of the fuel lines(hairpin clips/duck bill clips). If my truck has hairpin clips the manual states replacement with new clips, where do I get these replacements? If my truck has the duck bill clips the manual states I will need special tooling to remove the fuel lines, where do i get the special removal tool for this clip? I appreciate all the input, I try to have all the information I can obtain before going to a parts store or dealer to keep repeat trips down to a minimum if you know what I mean.Thanks!

Should be included with the pump.. If not then the Help section of your local parts house should have them.

Thank you for the information NGM. I will check the pump for replacements when purchased.
