I continue to soak it with penetrating fluid.

Tim, I usually have been able to get the line off laying on the floor and using a line wrench from underneath with the car elevated, and using a 3/4" wrench on the pump line block to support it from buckling the underside of the fuel pump body. Of course this only works with the square block type 40482 pump.
