I've received the new fuel filter for my 98 ml 320. When I started to remove the existing parts it was observed the old filter is the original style and not the updated one. Prior to ordering it I took a peek at the hoses/clips to make sure they were the updated ones and they looked like the ones in the photos. I assumed the conversion was made. Well it wasn't.

So now, how/where can I get this special tool to remove the hoses? Can I reuse the existing hoses?
