The woes of removing hoses...

Alright. So I decided I would check the fuel pump sock in my gas tank, as it seems that has been the root of quite a few people's stuttering problem.
The problem is one of the fuel lines is very tightly jammed in place. I can rotate it on the connection just fine, but pulling it is another story. It's like it doesn't actually have room to move off of the connection. It makes me wonder how anyone got to the pump to install the Walbro 255.
Does anyone have any suggestions (cutting is the obvious one) on how to get this line off? Like I said... it's not so much stuck as it just doesn't have room to move. Cutting the line would have me worried. In addition to the line not having room to move, it also seems like if it were any shorter, it would not reach the connection. Although I can't really tell, since it's still on the connection.
And I guess while I'm on the topic, assuming I can get the pump out, what would you guys suggest I use to clean the pump sock, in the event that it's dirty?
Thanks a lot.
