You need a fuel/trans/A/C line disconect tool set. It is five pieces of plastic for the diferent sized lines to push the spring over the retainer on the inner half. These sets are less than $20.00 in Canada, I didn't see where you are from but they aren't that much. Usually it takes some monkeying to get the line to let go due to dirt build up over time. sray oil helps I found.

Ya, it should need a standard quick disconnect tool.

or there are other similar types as well. Spray some penatrating lube in connection first to free up the spring, then insert the tool and you'll probably have to mess around with it a bit before it comes apart.
