Man, I hate all those squeeze connectors that never seem to want to let go without tears of frustration and a few well selected words! Persevere! Do not be tempted to use the BFH!

+1 on what you said. I’ll leave the BFH (and the channel lock pliers) on the shelf won’t have another opportunity to work on it until Wednesday, so I expect to roll into the garage and have that thing come loose the first time I touch it

or, if you do it like me, to buy the cheapest squeeze connector tool possible, only to have the little fittings on the end come flying off and land somewhere in the engine (only held on with a weak little circlip).
