Freeing stuck fuel lines

ok, i've searched and i only go how to remove the bracket for the fuel filter. I want to know how to remove the lines from the filter and put them on the new one. is just a combination of pushing and pulling really hard? or is there a grease or tool i could use?

try using pliers and twisting them back and forth, or just cut them longways and pull them off.

you would need to replace them, which should probably be done anyways....

just get some pliers like said and twist the line on the filter and then pull and twist with all your might... and cover your eyes and disconnect your battery...

Fuel line? Yes. Be sure to get fuel injector line, which is made to withstand the added pressure.
