2020 MKZ/Fusion 2.0 EB evap hose clip broken

[wcd978]

Hey all. I was changing spark plugs on a 2020 MKZ with the 2.0. Was in a rush and broke this lock tab/hose clip. It's a line for the evap system into the intake hose. The two little legs of the tab are still stuck in the connector and it won't come off.

Where can I find a replacement yellow lock tab? Can't find a P/N online and there are none of these in junkyards near me. Is it even removable?

Thx

I’ve done the same thing on different hoses. Your local parts store should have replacements. Also, a local dealer may have them.

A set of small picks and a pocket screwdriver combined with a healthy amount of luck and patience.
