The fuel filter seems to have been forgotten ever since they took it out of the engine bay and put it on the frame rail, rarely EVER do trucks come to us with a fuel filter that was ever replaced!!! Probably because the mechanics who change them on these Gen II trucks would rather not bother because they know if god is not helping on that day a simple filter replacement can turn into a fuel line fixing nightmare :)
PB blaster and a good set of fuel line tools are the way to get the attention of the big man upstairs who will see you through this painstaking process.
It would be interesting to cut open your old filter and have a look see at the filter media, I bet its nasty!!
Whomever decided to put the spring inside the pressure fitting on modern fuel lines and that they should act like a Chinese finger puzzle should be SHOT
