Did you de-pressurise the system first??

May just take a bit effort to remove them. :-/

the 2 connections on the fuel tank, fuel sender, just unclip by pushing 2 notches in the sides of the connecter in over. they will be tight. Also, they are colour coded so you know which way they go back.

if they are indeed stuck, lower the tank futher down, use a trolley jack and block of wood, and they remove fuel sender unit complete, it only rotates quarter turn and with draws.

to depressurise, just unclip the fuel filter first.

hope this helps
