Default Oil Feed Line

I have a 2011 Heritage. Has anyone replaced those clip/oil ring fittings on the oil feed and return lines on the motor side not the tank side. Those clip fitting that the line slids into. If so, any problems doing it.

Do you have a manual?
I was able to get mine out with a small screwdriver, but I believe a tool is made for it. Getting them back in is a snap.

Why do you need new clips? Removed mine many times without replacing them.

No need for a tool. Squeeze and pull.

The reason I ask I seem to have a very small oil leak on the oil feed to the engine. Can see residue on the engine case. Have the service and parts manual. Getting feedback back from everyone thay I can.

Okay easy enough. Squese the tabs and pull on the line to remove then replace the o-ring. Super easy fix. http://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche....-TANK-W/-LINES Dont need to un thread the hex part the line goes in.
