head to advance auto and pick up a set of quick disconnect tools for the fuel filter. the plastic ones work better then the metal scissor-like ones. those clips you got off are just the safety clips, you have to use the tool to get the actual lines off. be sure to de-pressurize the fuel system first

Schrader valve up along the fuel rail on top of the motor. Push down the center of it and it will release the pressure.
