quick disconnnect hydraulic line

How does one disconnect the hose from the front strut on an 01 cl55 with ABC. I have a leaking front strut and I have remove the upper and lower mounts. The only thing preventing me from pulling the strut out is the line. It looks like a quick release air line hose connector, but it won't move? Ant suggestions would be appreciated. Steve

Have you bleed off the pressure in the system?
The connection is difficult to get apart and together, I usually use 90 degree plyers and a lot of force.
