Fuel line under coolant reservoir ???

How do I get this sucker off?

It looks like a rubber jacketed plastic line. I can pull back the rubber sleeve at both ends (i actually slit the bottom end to check it out) but the dang line won't come off. It appears to be barbed; I'm not sure, I don't want to break it, and I'm out of ideas.

Once the bolt is out it is just pressed into the rail and has o-rings to seal. You can slightly rotate while pulling towards the coolant reservoir until it comes out. Be ready to catch fuel,

I hate that fitting. You have to buy new orings also.

Really? Why?

Normally O-rings on fuel system stuff (e.g. fuel injectors) can be re-used.
