Do you have the new filter & does it look like this?
If so, does it have those milky white clips?
If the answer is still yes I simply put a flat screwdriver between the pointy tip of it & the line & pried it off (it comes with replacements so I was not worried about hurting the old ones).
My truck is a gen 1, that is why it "may" be different, just trying to help.

My EX is a 96 and changing the fuel filter does require the special tool that is relatively cheap. The fuel connection will have a round cone shaped fitting that the tool simply slides into and releases the fuel filter. Usually the force require to insert the tool into the fitting will usually be enough to push the hose off the filter. It helps to push the fitting towards the filter while inserting the tool. Don't forget to bleed the fuel pressure first.
