Default 2004 fuel pump connectors

I am changing the fuel pump on my 2004. All videos I have seen shows a quick release compression tool used to remove the lines. Mine does not have that type of fittings. On mine there are four different color coded clips that somehow need to be released. Is there a special tool for them. One is yellow, one blue, one green and the largest is orange.

No, I have that tool. My connectors are color coded and somehow they need to be released by compressing the colored tab. May be a WIX connector?

The line in the lower right has a green tab that you can't see. The large yellow connector pushes in to release. The blue and yellow have a small locking tab but popping it out does not release the line.

I was thinking "just pull harder" but it looks like there's a two motion process on some of those. Found a video! There's always a video.

This guy uses pliers and a friend to do the pulling but I'm thinking a thin blade screwdriver levered against the small tab and pushing back on the big one might work. Anyway, it might give you some clues. Maybe there is an actual tool for it out there somewhere.

No exclamation point?
