Getting fuel lines off

I got the smaller fuel line off using the fuel line disconnect tool but the larger (I believe 3/8" size one) doesn't want to come off. Any recommendations?

Put the tool on the fuel line, push the fuel hose TOWARD the fuel rail, THEN push the tool upward to release the clips.

It is a bit of a hassle.

Are you using a 3/8" tool?

I had to twist and wiggle until it came off. Just don't break the connector inside because you can't seem to buy them separately from the line.

Thanks. I guess I just have to struggle. The other one popped right off. Yes, using the 3/8 tool.
