fuel filter replacement

I have a 2002 Sprinter: replacing fuel filter and following HKPierce's excellent instructions. Question: having difficulty with step 4 - remove the fuel supply to injector from the top center of the filter. Got the white yoke out, but having difficulty removing the black plastic adapter that fits into filter and connects to fuel supply. It pivots, but does not seem to want to be removed and I am afraid with too much force I will damage it. Anyone experience this?

I have a pic of this but not sure how to attach to this post.

Thanks

Yeah, the o-ring alone on that center fitting can keep it in place. A lot of people, myself included, have broken the white plastic clip. I was paranoid and used a zip tie to hold it down until I ordered a new fuel line about two years later. Never had a problem with it using a zip tie.
