Do you need that handle to really get it in there and release the springs?
Oh I did depressurize the system, have a drip pan, eye protection, the right size tool, the other lines off. Its just that one stinkin metal line, it doesn't want to come off

You probably already took care of this, but for future reference. I had this exact problem. Me/Dad/Friends all pulled on the one the line but it would not come off even with the 3/8 quick disconnect tool in the first post picture. So eventually I went out and got an OEM brand 3/8 transmission line disconnect tool. It was twice the price but well worth it, because using it popped the line off within 5 seconds of trying. It's aluminum w/ a spring loaded handle on it.
Hope it helps
