How do you take off plastic clips on fuel filter when changing on a 97 mercury sable?

Slide a small blade screwdriver up underneath the top of the fuel line connector clips - be patient when prying the clip upwards.
Don't worry too much if the clip breaks! Just push the 'legs' of the clip up and out. This is common as the plastic/nylon is likely to be very old and are exposed to the road salts and weather and become brittle.
Note: Make sure the replacement filter comes with a set of new clips!
