You can buy the replacement springs in the Help! Section at most auto part stores.

Are you using the correct size line removal tool? Did you spray the connectors down with some good penetrating oil? Did you bleed the pressure off of the fuel lines? They are tough to get off, I still ended up with gas on me the first time I did mine!

I spray some PB Blaster in those garter springs, wait a few minutes then use the cheapo plastic fuel line tool to pop them loose. I have a fancy set of metal fuel line removers, but I found the plastic ones to work better.
