Default Quick Help - Fuel Filter

I'm in the process of changing my fuel filter, and I can't get the bottom banjo bolt (attached to the fuel line) off. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

the bottom nut on the fuel filter is stuck to the bolt on the fuel line. I've tried using liquid wrench, and its not working. The only thing thats happening is that the fuel line is being twisted

The fuel line got so messed up that I broke it off. Once it was off, I got the banjo bolt out, and I fed the fuel line back through it. Hopefully I won't have a leak. I'll know in a few minutes.
