I bought the assortment of fuel line disconnects and one of them fit. I had more of a problem getting it back on.

I just pulled mine off with two flat haed screwdrivers yesterday. It is not that hard, just get two flatheads and press the white ring in as far as you can it may take a few times but I've done it like 3 time that way.

If you can't see the white ring I think you are in trouble. I'm not sure how you could get it out if you can't press the white ring in. Could it just be dirty? Did you clean it off and get a good look at it? Maybe someone will know a trick. But if the ring is some how broken in a way that it is still holding the line in and you can't see it I have no idea how to take it out. Maybe you could disconnect it from the master and pull the line out with the tranny.

Make sure you push the whole line connection in when pushing
the ring or what have you.
I usually have to push everything in then wiggle it and pull out.
