assuming that you're referring to the black connector with the teal coloured tab? if so, then search for 'fuel line pliers' ... pliers with ends that are hooked inwards. you have to press the tabs inwards, whilst jigging on the connector.
if you're referring to the hose spring clips instead, then do a search for 'spring clip tool'. there are variations of these and you have to be careful if you choose to have only one type.
Hopefully you can see the same search that I got: for the fuel line pliers, the one that works best is the curved in pliers with the blue handle. I have a couple of types, but the one i use most is that blue handled one, as it gets into the tighter spaces better.
For the hose spring clips(top tip! ... chuck them out as you remove them and replace proper worm drive clamps! ... but that's just my opinion) .. anyhow, I find that the best overall tool to have is the type that has the long bendy wire. In the search link see the one that has three types pictured on TEMU. Good to have multiple types for ease of use, but if you only had to have one type, get the bendy one. Again related to confined spaces.
I try to buy as much as I can from local shops, where possible, but if not, I use ebay(easy).
Sounds like you're new to LR, and you appear to be willing to fix yourself. Good! prepare to get a lot of dedicated tools to work on your LR. I did notice your welcome thread ... so welcome!
Don't know what vehicle brand you have come from, but you say "new to LR" ... so assuming from some other make .. if so ... you need to subscribe to LR TIME on youtube. funny to watch and interesting content and relevant for your vehicle.
