Fuel line replacement

Ok, I am stuck. I kinked a fuel line when I took it off. I have the new fuel line, but I can't get the old one to let go. It has some kind of disconnect I haven't seen. It looked simple enough to remove the clip and pull the hard line out. No such luck. I don't want to force them and break something. Is there a special tool or an easy way to separate them?

Here is the cheap plastic ones Im talking about

And Should Work better than the other one I posted

Lisle 37000 Air Conditioning/Fuel Line Disconnect Tool Set : Amazon.com : Automotive

Any cheapy from Auto parts store should work they will probably be Labeled A/C Dissconnect tools

Oreilys or AZ will have them cheap

I've got both the metal and plastic sets. Both work however the metal set does work better with less strain on the operator.

$9 and eligible for free shipping - nothing I ever need is that cheap!?
This would work on the trans-lines to the radiator as well?
