The collar turns with some resistance for a few threads. The o-ring makes it stick. Keep going.
The return fitting (yes they are different) can be replaced by inserting it into the rigid fuel line with the special Saab tool gizmo. No one sells this thing but about a month ago someone posted pics of their homemade one. Try searching for the post.
What I did was cut off the fitting just after the elbow - leaving as much as possible of the end still fitted into the fuel line. Then I used a segment of high pressure fuel line and hose clamped it to the rigid line (the old fitting segment still in the hose keeps it from crushing under the new hose clamp). Hose clamp the other end of the new line to the new fitting. Does this make sense?...
What you have to be really sure about is whether your broken return line was a check valve or if your '92 had the superceded setup where the supply fitting acts as the checkvalve and the return is just open. Look at your return fitting to see if it's clear or has a ball/spring valve. You can't buy the return style check valve any longer so if yours is the old setup you must replace the supply one as well with the new style. I learned the hard way...
