1G DSM changing fuel filter

[FeskarBlauk]

Hey. I bought a new fuel filter for my 1G DSM, but I gave up after a while of trying to break the nut under the filter and left it there. Yes it's been soaked in WD-40 and I've tried all my force to break it loose, but now I'm thinking that maybe I turned the wrench the wrong way? :O If so, I'm going to slap myself, hard, with a fish, in the face..

On the picture below is the way I turned the wrench.

Just to make sure I got your arrow.... You put a wrench on and we're pulling towards the front of the car... If so, unfortunately, you were tightening it.

Haha, I hope so! But in which order do the crush washer go on. And the top hose, does it need to be tighten a specific amount or something? I noticed the hole in the fuel hose and the nut itself has some openings, if you understand?
