If you're talking about a V6, the arrow points to the outside of the car.

the arrow always points towards the motor. you gotta then crank it a bit to build up enough fuel to start the car. if its backwards, no amount of cranking will start the car.

Did you soak the fittings with PB Blaster before trying to loosen them? If not do it now.
Please be carful with the leaking gas.

I believe it's a compression fitting and there are no separate washers or O-rings.

When I removed mine, I sprayed the fittings with PB Blaster and let it soak in before trying to loosen the fittings. I didn’t want to end up twisting and/or damaging the metal lines. Make sure you use TWO wrenches (one on each "nut") on each side of the filter when loosening/tightening. Upon reassembly, I put anti-seize on the threads.
