Technical Fuel filter removal

[TaglienteAlessi]

Hi all... Looking to remove my Ulysse 2.0 petrol fuel filter but can't seem to get this clip off,(1st pic) it's different to the other side which looks like it pushes inwards together.
Any thoughts please before I break it trying thanks in advance.

With both of those clips they push inwards from both sides, it sometimes helps to spray with WD40 then turn it slightly for oil to get in.
I can usually push them in using thumb and forefinger.
That green one is the same design.
If you try using a tool there is a good chance of breaking the plastic!

Thanks for the info Mike.. I'll try some wd40 now and tackle it again tomorrow.. Really frustrating as doesn't seem to want to press in and as you say tried carefully with a screwdriver to not break it but almost stabbed my other hand several times will keep you posted
