Cant disconnect fuel line from filter.
Tying to replace my fuel filter. I'm using the 5/16 disconnect tool and when I try separating it's not budging. And when I pull it out a lot of rust/dirt is on the end of the tool. Anything I can safely spray in there, degreaser? Carb cleaner? Any ideas on how to get this thing off? I am using the plastic tool.

I could get my tool all the way in place. I just could pull it off with my bare hand so I got pliers and gripped the silver end of the line while the tool was in and just turned and pulled. More gas came out than expected. Even when I opened gas cap. Hope this helps you!

With these things you just have to fight with them for 5-10 minutes. The key is to push in towards the filter then pull out while the tool is in place.

Yeah I found the best way to do it is just get the tool in place and grab a pair of pliers and grip the hose fitting and turn and pull. A lot easier than trying to force it with ur hands and bust up ur knuckles
