Is it the plastic fuel filter holder bracket thing? Those holders are almost
impossible to open, even if you get it open it will be just as hard to
close. Try sliding the filter out the bottom without opening the holder, if
that does not work then cut the tab off in the middle and just force it open
and then use a tie strap to secure the new filter to the plastic holder.
