I was able to remove the front/outbound connection, but the rear/inbound connection won't budge at all.

I'm posting on every forum I use, out of desparation...I did get one good suggestion on another forum: Since I may have to give up and declare that fuel line a loss, maybe I could remove said fuel line still attached to the filter and work on it while it's not attached to the truck. Then I could clear it of fuel and use heat.
you are reorienting yourself when you switched to the other side right?
