Default Dropping Cradle... A few quick Q's

OK I've got almost everything ready to go now. I dropped the cradle down about 4 inches, so I could get at everything on the top of the engine. There are a few more things I need to know before I can finish.

-How do I get the fuel lines off! I got the low pressure line off, but the silver one, I can't get off! I took that little clip and the rubber off, but it won't come! What do I do?

-Starter wires... Should I have unhooked these? I unplugged all the harnesses from the top, but me thinks I might have to take them off at the starter?

-Clutch! How do I disconnect the hydraulic line? (M6)

I think thats about it, help would be appreciated!

Here's what i can find in the manual:

Using J 36221, depress the white circular release ring on the actuator cylinder hose and simultaneously pull lightly on the master cylinder hose to disconnect.
Protect both hose coupling ends from dirt and damage.

OK is there anyway to disconnect the fuel line without a tool? I don't have access to one and I'd like to get this done today.
