I have replaced the fuel filter last Sunday. The workshop manual recommends using a 17 mm block wrench - you put it against the side of the filter and push the connector aside with the ends. I found it better to use an adjustable wrench to have more surface against the connector. If you work at different angles and not too hard, the connector will come off in one piece. The manual recommends to put a little vaseline on the end pipes of the new filter, then the connectors slide back on easy and the next change will be easier too.
That with the rubber hose is the great idea!
