I have a 96 Celica ST 1.8L that won't start. Initially we didn't have any spark at the plug or with a tester hooked up at the distributor cap. Swapped out distributor and car started right up. Ran for about 5 or 6 minutes and shut down. Tried restarting but no luck. I didn't hear the fuel pump humming so I decided to replace the filter first and check the pump while I had the filter off. The bottom nut on the filter was the hardest thing I've ever removed. I removed the fuel filter and turned on the ignition, we rerouted the fuel flow so we wouldn't be making a mess or causing a fire. Didn't matter, no fuel would flow. So I remove the rear seat and access cover and I can't get the nut off the fuel line. It's as though it was superglued. I've got two wrenches a 14 and 19mm on the two nuts and trying to turn them in opposite directions but no luck. I don't want to damage the metal fuel lines but I don't know what to do. Any Suggestions?

try some type of spray, like wd40 to help loosen the nut.
