Whats the best way to remove these lines? I will still need to retain the fittings but attach new fuel line to them when I fit my surge tank. The workshop manual states to use special removal tool AU601 which I obviously dont have.

Squeeze the flexible sides of the fitting together and you will be able to take the line off the tank. Be warned some fittings can be a real bitch to get off. But yes there is a special tool our there for it, never had the need to use one yet though.

Ive have tried squeezing pushing you name it but I think if I pull any harder im going to break something... How does this fitting work? What section should I squeeze in? I think I mite just end up cutting the fuel line off the fitting.....
