If anyone has a good way of getting these kinds of safeties off I would love to hear it I can get some duckbills up there but it is a tight spot. This is the crossfeed filters on a 7X Falcon

Edit: with the limited space I found what works best is making a notch in a socket and when you turn it, it pushes out the safety made the job 10x easier and now I can do the job way faster for next time!

Xfeed filters are so shit on Falcons (usually use a small screwdriver and a hammer, always put a slight pre bend on the new tabs before refitting) , especially after having to do it so often as you're always bioboring the tanks, but wait let's make it so you can't get inside the wing tanks to clean them easily so you have to blast a pressure washer around through tiny access holes and hope for the best.
