Default Help! Trouble removing the Vortech fuel system

I'm trying to remove the Vortech auxillary pump, fmu, etc. I bought a utec, injectors, and a walbro. I installed the kit myself.

I can't remove the Vortech fuel hoses. Specifically, I can't remove the Vortech fuel line that attaches to the metal oem line from the fuel tank. It's a round metal connector with no release tabs. It's a female connector that connects to the male oem line.

Anyone know how to remove this line?
