If the connector and the pipe are stuck, pinch the connector, push and pull the pipe to disconnect the pipe and pull it out.Text in Illustration *1 Retainer Pinch Pull - NOTICE:
Check for foreign matter in the pipe and around the connector. Clean if necessary. Foreign matter may damage the O-ring or cause leaks in the seal between the pipe and connector.- Do not use any tools to separate the pipe and connector.
- Do not forcefully bend or twist the nylon tube.
- Check for foreign matter on the pipe seal surface. Clean if necessary.
- Put the pipe and connector ends in plastic bags to prevent damage and foreign matter contamination.
- If the pipe and connector are stuck together, pinch the connector between your fingers and turn it carefully to disconnect it.

- If the connector and pipe are stuck, pinch the fuel pipe by hand and push and pull the connector to disconnect it.
Text in Illustration Push Down - NOTICE:
Check for any dirt and foreign matter contamination in the pipe and around the connector. Clean if necessary. Foreign matter may damage the O-ring or cause leaks in the seal between the pipe and connector.- Do not use any tools to separate the pipe and connector.
- Do not allow any scratches or foreign matter on the parts when disconnecting them, as the fuel tube joint contains the O-rings that seal the plug.
- Check for any dirt and foreign matter on the pipe seal surface. Clean if necessary.
- Do not forcibly bend, twist or turn the nylon tube.
- Protect the disconnected part by covering it with a plastic bag and tape after disconnecting the main tube.

Observe these precautions when disconnecting the fuel tank breather tube connector:
Pinch the retainer and pull out the fuel tank breather tube connector with the fuel tank breather tube connector pushed toward the pipe to disconnect the fuel tank breather tube from the pipe.
Text in Illustration *1 Fuel Tank Breather Tube Connector *2 Pipe Push Pinch - NOTICE:
Remove any dirt or foreign objects on the fuel tank breather tube connector before performing this procedure.- Do not allow any scratches or foreign objects on the parts when disconnecting them as the fuel tank breather tube connector has the O-ring that seals the pipe.
- Perform this work by hand. Do not use any tools.
- Do not forcibly bend, kink or twist the nylon tube.
- Protect the connecting part by covering it with a plastic bag after disconnecting the fuel tank breather tube.
- If the fuel tank breather tube connector and pipe are stuck, push and pull them to release them.
