No, remove your fuel rail and take it to a welder. This happened to mine from the weight of my nitrous stuff. He welded it very carefully and havent had a problem with it for years. Only cost me 20 bucks.

Should be fine if you don't mind dying from a fiery explosion at some point

Keep trying w/ the disconnect tool, push *up* and keep pressure on the line and it should pop right off.

Why not just go to the for sale section and buy a used fuel rail? $20 might get you a replacement.
