Leave the screw fitting on because that's the stable side, i used a pocket knive and pushed on the side of the green piece (connector) and one side unhinged and then you push it out of the fitting and then unscrew the other side. Very easy when that canister is not in your way.
Edit: I read someone's post above about breaking the fitting, DO NOT BREAK THE FITTING, the fitting that came with my fuel filter didn't even fit on my v6.

Thanks, I'll try again this weekend, I did move the evap canister out of the way, that was the only way to get two wrenches in there to loosen the inline nut & hold the filter. So on the green piece, I should unhinge the little clip (which I previously did). Now should I squeeze the green connector while I try to pull out the old filter? That's where I am having a problem. I tried to pull off the green connector from the black line that comes from the fuel tank and it didn't move at all. I stopped because its all plastic & was afraid of breaking it. You're saying that the green piece is not to be removed.
