Default Need some fuel line help.......

Okay, I have everything apart,waiting for my new oil pressure kit to arrive, should be here Mon or Tues. So I decided i would remove the fuel lines and take out the intake completely an clean things up. NOT!!!!! I cant get the fuel lines off. I have the tool little plastic pos it just wont release. It slides in I put pressue on it and nothing. Okay its a 97 and they probably have never been removed but they have to come off someway. Anybody have this problem and what did you do to get them off......

Yes some are hard to get loose, you did pull the fuel pump fuse and turn the engine over for 5 seconds, first. Slide the 3/8" plastic release tool around fuel line and pull towards stainless fuel line harder than you are now. You are probably not pulling hard enough. Try this, maybe it will help.
