    Hi. I want to change my evaporative charcoal canister in my Prius. One of the connectors to it is shown in the pic. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to disconnect it. I didn't want to be too forceful and break it. Does anyone know how to disconnect it? Thanks

    Press that clip on both sides with your thumb and index finger. If it does not remove, then you have a lot of rust on that tap. Spray WD40 on the inside of the tab. That should fix it and make it easy to remove.
