How to remove fuel filter in '02 Ranger?

I bought the special removal tool, and the back two lines came off easily. However the front line is too close to the filter for the tool to fit in. This particular year does not have clips, so how am I suppose to remove the front line if the tool does't fit between the line and the filter?How to remove fuel filter in '02 Ranger?Cut the nipple off the old filter then use the tool and a pair of needle-nose pliers to pull the nipple out of the line.

It's probably a low probability, but I would prefer not to take a hack saw to a used gas filter.
