Does your filter look like the above picture? Did you squeeze the ears together? Sometimes I use a pair of needle-nose pliers to squeeze the ears and get the fuel line loose. It's probably best to use the proper tool. I call those fittings quick connect, If I ever get them loose, they go back together pretty quick.
