Removing fuel line
Eh up all,
Long time no post, but I've been fitting ITBs at a rate of one bolt per month for some time now and have a little issue.
So I'm returning, hat in hand to see if I need to know more, or just be stronger!
I need to remove the fuel line that attaches to the fuel pressure regulator, the top of which is nice and easy, but I'm struggling to get this bit off:

Just to confirm, does anyone know whether it's just a case of more elbow grease on a spanner round the hardline above the bracket in the centre of the photo?
I'm a bit chunky to maneuver myself about under the car these days, but have given it a fairly decent go to no avail!
Any tips, piss takes or what have you?
Thanks for reading either way,
Pete

I have recently been messing around with my fuel line, the fitting is very tight bud. Try the correct size spanner but beware you may still round the nut(hydraulic fitting). You may need to get some mole-grips on it.
But yes, it is tight.

Forgot to say thanks to you lot for the tips!
I bought a set of crows feet (having found out what on earth they were!), then left a rag covered in WD-40 wrapped around it as I had that in the garage but didn't have plusgas.
I gave it a nudge and replenished the rag for a couple of days and it eventually popped free.
So thanks again, you've saved my knuckles from serious abrasions, and the neighbours from learning some more horrible swear words!
