Can't get fuel filter off...

[Fast 96 Asp]

I have the clips and I got the front hose off, but the back one simply will not come off. I have to leave for class in 30 minutes and my Ex is on the lift in the garage. HELP!!!! Why the hell won't the rear fuel line come off?


Edit: I disconnected the switch my the passenger door and let the truck run until it died, but when the front line came off there was still a lot of pressure. Could this be affecting anything? HELPPPPPPPPP

Do you have the fuel disconnect tool? If so is it the plastic or the metal one. I found that the metal ones are far superior than the plastic tools.

I have the plastic ones. Many people have said they are much better than metal, and I know its slim, but plactis won't create sparks. This tool has worked fine on my F350. I'm thinking it's because there was still a lot of pressure in the lines. Would that affect the rear line from gas tank>filter? Or is the pressure mostly filter>engine?

Its not pressure (Pressure would actually help the lines come apart) its the tool not reaching all the fingers which are holding the fuel line in place. Check out the
