Angry 90 Lumina Fuel Filter Trouble...

I basically am just using this car as a beater right now. I bought the car with a blown head gasket, so basically the whole engine has been rebuilt. All the gaskets are new and everything. I noticed a drop in fuel economy the other week and took a look at my fuel filter. I noticed it was a tad rusty and that the lines up to it and fron it were a tad rusty also. I dont want to have to replace the lines at all, so my question is how do i get the old fuel filter off without ruining the lines. The filter itself if a screw on, so it has threads on both sides. I figure I can put a wrench on the part of the line with the nut and the end of the old filter to get it loose, but by loosening one side am i not then tightening the otherside making it almost tear the line?
