    if you dont have a line wrench for the line nut, use vise grips tight as hell, dont turn the line nut, hold it where it is, then put another wrench on the filter's hex nut there, ( you se it in the pic up there) crank on the filter, while holding the line nut still. if the line nut turns, the line will twist, and well, then your fixing a broke fuel line.

    Just did this a couple weeks ago...Broke the connection loose and the line nut was turning, I didn't realize it wasn't turning on the line, twisted the line right off. Dorman makes a repair kit. Cut the line with a tubing cutter back where it is straight, bend the new tube to match, and the kit comes with a compression fitting to join new/old lines so no flaring needed. was an easy fix but better to avoid it as Scotty says,
