this is kinda wierd cause after trying to pry it off and having a bubble form on my finger now... i cranked the car again and it sounded like it was struggling to start, like it was about to, and then not, and about to, then not. it's like pressure builded up or somethin ???

today is another bright and sunny day. and i'm gonna make another go at it.
i don't think i have any pliers so gonna have to use my good ol hands again.
I read in one of the threads about opening up the gas tank cap? what will that do in terms of pressure within the lines? and is cranking the engine numerous times for 5 seconds, bad for your engine in any way? it sure doesn't sound good for it...
thanks.

Dont pull on the hose. They act as a chinese finger lock. The more you pull, the more the hose will grab on the filter spout. You have to push on it. You really need pliers to first twist the hose right and left to break the seal, and second to push on the hose.
