Help me...what do i do to remove this?
okay I feel really ignorant but I can't seem to get the quick disconnect off I mean I push in and turn up do I push in and turn down what do I do to get this thing off

 

push in the two clips on the hard line and pull the plastic line off.
The plastic clips look like the green piece in this picture



It also sometimes helps to push the two lines together to take the stress off the clips.

 

First of all, quit using whatever you've been using that has torn it up already.

Second, loosen up the bracket that hold the filter to the frame. Some penetrating oil may help. Remove the line on the back that uses the nut/flare fitting. This way you can move the filter back and forth when it comes to removing the quick disconnect fitting.

Now, press in on the two tabs of the quick disconnect and move the filter back out of the fitting. Much easier than trying to move the fitting away from the filter. The fuel line doesn't have a lot of give in it.

And lastly, try to come up with a better screen name (said with tongue in cheek!).

 

Be careful with the fuel line because it is a PITA to repair or replace. But if you do break the little clip on the steel line dont stress. they are cheap to replace

Happy to help, Thats what these forums are for.

 

I know this tread is a couple years old, but, I'm having trouble with the line side of the filter. It's a bit rusty, I can't figure out what size wrench to use (16mm is too small and 17mm too big) and I my big meat hook hands don't fit well between the frame and whatever that rod is. Any suggestions or ideas.
