NOPE....Sorry,hate to say it but you gotta go and get the release tool to get that fitting to separate.Not to mention its probably charged with coolant.I abandoned my a/c,so I just cut it.Was not charged though.Good luck friend.You can normally get the tool from your local parts store free rental(deposit reqd.).
