Angry Clip on brake line?

No one seems to know what I'm taking about....

I have a 95 f-150, I'm replacing the front brake lines. There is a clip of some sort that connects the rubber tubing (to the caliper) to the metal line in the wheel well. How do you get this clip off??

I've tried summit, j.c, jeggs, napa, national auto parts and no one sees a remove tool for this.

Can anyone shed some light on this????

Thanks!

Is it similar to the fuel filter connections on the newer F150? If so, you can go to Auto Zone and they sell a kit that has an assortment of plastic collars for disconnecting fuel and AC lines. Find the right size and slide it over the smaller line, than push it under the connection with the larger line, and it releases the clips inside the larger line. The assortment is like $10.

There are pics of the tool adn fuel line connections in the thead linked below. If your connectors look similar, I think the tool would work.
