Sadly, that doesn't always work here in the rust belt. The line itself can fuse to the line nut and getting one to spin without the other is an exercise in futility.
But then where's the challenge?
Agree with using flare nut wrenches, but that won't help with the issue of the line fusing to the nut. The nut will spin out of the fuel filter but the line itself wants to spin and twist with the nut. Rust belt hack mechanic 101
That's where you learn to chug Bacardi 151 by the pint while simultaneously learning how to field dress the burns from overheated bolts and sewing your own stiches to avoid the medical cost of the ER. It's also where you learn which priest to go to for confession for all the things that flow out of your mouth.
How about we send all the Snowflakes who are afraid do drive in the white stuff down south instead? Then we can quit throwing down the salt, toss on the snow tires and start enjoying non-corrosive donuts in local parking lots.

They probably aren't going to like our humidity and tornadoes much, either.
Same here in Cincinnati. I'm that lunatic that will sit on the porch during tornado warnings (watching the radar of course to make sure it's not coming at me).
Half of them are too afraid to drive on a perfectly dry, salted, and plowed road. I love the days where they've only truly plowed one lane on the highway while the others are simply traffic-plowed. There's always a number of people that hog that lane only to go like, 40 mph. So you have to drive around them to get anywhere any time soon.How about we send all the Snowflakes who are afraid do drive in the white stuff down south instead?

Yes but its rusted to the tubing nut
So we are well over a month into this project, and my husband is spraying more pb blaster, my idea was siphon the gas out, and cut the line by the fuel filter on both sides, add quick connects to the lines and new filter and like magic done. My husband on the other hand with his trusty pb blaster says it cost too much, honestly $60 in gas every 3 days is costing way more. So any other suggestions please? Would it be easier if he disconnected the lines at the tank and wherever it runs to up front and then trying to remove the filter??I got rid of the stock fuel filter on mine a long time ago. Those sh!ty things have been on GM trucks for a long time and I got tied of trying to remove it and fuel running down my arm and neck, so every truck I've had gets I replaced with a Perma-Cool spin on Fuel filter/water separator. Just add fuel line adapters, mount the adapter and filter changes are 5 minutes with zero fuel spills and service intervals of 15k-25k..
You can do it cheaper if you shop the fittings, I used braided steel lines but I already had most of the pieces leftover from other projects at the time I did changed it over..
