Can anyone tell me the secret to removing the canister type fuel filter,the one with the internal snap ring.I've got a 95 XLT,5.8 and the filter is mounted on the driver side frame rail.I finally got the inlet side off,but the outlet won't give it up.I bought 2 different "special tools",The scissors type and the plastic kind that wrap around.It's a 5/16" line,however,the 3'8" tool will also squeeze into the quick disconnect.I've pushed,pulled,twisted,cursed & prayed,all to no avail.Thanks for any assistance.Dave
