This worked for me but used the modified Irwin quick clamp instead. I wrapped the nylon tubing with electrical tape so the flaring tool clamp wouldn't nick it and I put the clamp in a vice. I also inserted a #13 drill bit into the 5/16"nylon line before tighten the flaring tool clamp and it stopped it from getting crushed. I also poured boiling water on the tube while tightening the Irwin quick clamp. The #13 bit will go through the 5/16 quick connect fitting and helps keep the tube and connector lined up.

Good advise, only problem is when you would have to do this on the car, I'm doing a 1998 sebring and whoever did the fuel filter screwed up the quick connector to the fuel pump. Reckon I will figure it out. Looks like they lost the little white plastic lock for the quick connect. They stuck it on without it and the fuel pressure blew it off. I may be able to but a new quick connector and just use the little white locking piece. Can't believe they left it like that.

So since my hose was kinked in the middle I just used all new line and fittings, but if you needed to reuse the fitting then the best way would be to use a razor blade carefully to cut the hose the long way down the barbs of the fitting, once they are in there they are pretty hard to get out, even with heat, but heating it up might actually make it easier to cut the line off there too, but be careful if you do, don’t cut yourself!!!
