2005 Quick-Connect Fuel Filter Broken Off

Now I've really done it. My wife's 2005 9-5 has the "quick connect" fuel filter. It had rusted through and was leaking, so I went to replace it. The front fitting came off after about two hours of fiddling. The rear fitting, no good. The rusted inlet tube broke off inside the fitting. Now I can't get all four tabs to release to extract the tube. The metal is weak enough that if I try to pull it in pieces it may disintegrate to the point that I can't get needlenose pliers on it.
I really need help. School has just started and she needs to get to work every day starting tomorrow.
Is there a way to get the broken tube out, or will I be required to get it towed to the specialist? I don't have a lift and am working on my back in the carport.
Thanks.
