you gotta get back under there and work it with the tool in every direction until it comes off. i did it on my 07 with little problem. Make sure you using right size tool. I bought a whole pack of tools.

does anyone know what size and what type of coupler i can buy to replace the stock one, i think the problem is that i might have bent the prongs inside the line.
