Did you try the special tool? I got mine at Princess auto, its a plastic fitting that snaps over the line and is supposed to lift the tabs and separate the lines....it can be a real b**ch to get them apart.

Right you are! I just used it on my xj fuel line a few days ago. A/C lines as well.

Push the lines together, slide the fitting on and then try to pull them apart, it may take a few tries and quite a bit of pressure pushing them together and pulling apart.
