literally in the middle of a diesel purge and problem with fuel return hose...

[tygman]

Ok I set up everything, bottle is snug in there with the supply going from the bottom of bottle into the inline filter. Now Im trying to disconnect the return hose so I can put the "new one" in but I cant seem to get it off!! I loosened the banjo bolt completely - even took out its screw, but I'm tugging on it and it won't seem to slide off. Should I just keep trying until it comes off? I even disconnected one of those bolts on the fuel filter to push away one of the wires that seemed to be up against hte return hose, but that still didn't help.

I cant see how its possible stuck on?
