I am replacing the external fuel filter and while removing the old filter one of the quick release lock clips broke. What can I do to fix this issue?

Good evening,

You need to go to a parts store, and they sell end kits for the line, and you can replace the end that failed. Follow the directions to replace it when you get to the new end.

Otherwise, you need to replace the complete line.
