i just switched mine out yesterday..and i took two wrenches..one on the bottom of the line..and one on the bolt..and pulled them together..and it broke loose..tryin to use one wrench or socket..(i almost broke my bracket too) but usin two made it stay in place and a lot easier..(the bottom wrench goes on the fuel filter bolts thats mounted..its like a 17mm or something)

Are you using the proper tools? You arent trying to get it off with a pair of pliers or some BS are you? Try and get a breaker bar. IE: If your using an open end wrench put a longer piece of pipe over it and then try it. Same for a ratchet.

Maybe you should eat some spinach? ... J/K

Good luck
