Wrong fuel filter installed

[1993 Bronco driver]

My '93 Bronco has the wrong fuel filter installed. I did not do it. My problem is the duck bill conectors on the fuel rail are to close to the filter, which leaves no room to insert the tooling to disengage them.

Any solutions out there, besides replaceing the fuel rail? Can I get couplings from the aftermarket part stores? Or do I have to replace the entire fuel line?

Thanks in advance

the duckbill things (if your talking about what i think you are) just snap off

your 93 does not have the duckbill clips. you should have the internal spring clips. try moving the clips away from the filter with your fingers, then try to engage the tool
