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.

If it may be a loss anyway, why not try a medium size pair of Vise-Grips on the line nut, and the filter nut. A little impact from a hammer on the tool has worked for me.
They also make fuel line repair kits that may help.

They feature factory-style connections, so installation is easy. Available in a variety of sizes and styles, Dorman fuel line repair kits will replace broken, cracked, or damaged OEM fuel line connectors.
