LPFP Removal?

So I have everything off except for the actual fuel line coming from the pump (the sending line). It has a green push clip (that then releases the clamp "feet") and no matter what I do I cannot push the clip in and get it to release. So I can't get the line off. Does anyone have any suggestions what to do? Ever run into this problem before. I'm thinking the "feet" are stuck even when I push the button in, and thus they won't release. Can't get a screwdriver from the back side either...

Any help is appreiciated.


The "button" I'm talking about is described at 4:45 in this video.

Push the connector down before trying again. Sometimes it rides up and then the pin is harder to push in... By pushing the connector down first you take some tension off the pin. You might need to use a screwdriver or something if your finger isn't strong enough.
