When I last changed out one of these I found the fitting on the metal line was rusted so that even though I was able to break the fitting loose I could not revolve it on the metal line- therefore I was unable to detach it. I cut the metal line. I did this in an area that was easy to slip a short piece of fuel hose over one end and and then slip the other end in before adding a hose clamp on each side of the cut.

That hose did not come off of the top of the unit you are removing. I think that once you have that hose loose AND the lock ring off you will be able to move the unit into a position that will make it reltively easy to pull the hose up and out of the opening in the trunk.

Make sure the ground tab on the unit is in good shape before you reinstall it. Or make provisions for a good ground from the top of the unit to the body so everything works as designed. Rust is normally a problem in this area.
