Hey, don't sweat it man!!! We've all been there with those damn quick disconnect fuel lines (what a lie for a name, right).

Shoot some WD-40 into the one that's giving you crap, insert tool and make sure the spring is going over the flange or it will never come off, then twist, wiggle and pull, it should work it's way off.

If that doesn't work you can always shoot it!!! LOL!!!

The trick is to insert the tool, and while pushing it towards the filter, pull the filter towards the tool. Then it should release.

Brake cleaner sprayed in the end work great, then a little shot of liquid wrench and let it set a minute, works for me anyway
