Use a 1" wrench to hold the large fuel inlet nut. Otherwise you'll crank the fuel line into a pretzel.

Spray a penetrant like PB Blaster on it, let it soak. Overnight would probably be best if possible.

Yea don't force it. I went through two fuel lines since I owned the car for being impatient.

Sometimes trying to tighten a little will help you loosen it. Keep spraying it and work it back and forth.
