Fuel filter

[vietkid_2006]

have you tried to get another person to help you?

have two people and get a wedge behind the filter, i used a pry bar.

and then have your wrench and a breaker bar so the pry bar behind it supports it as you turn your wrench with force it will break free.

good luck

flare nut wrench works for the fuel line

When I did mine, it was about 2 years ago. Bought a filter from Kragen. I think I needed a 21mm wrench and it was hard to find in a set. But my friend had one and it needed a 17 and a 21 mm wrenches for this job.

It was pretty hard to break the bolt loose at that time as well.

I used my 17mm wrench and a rubber mallet. A few hits and it broke loose.

Don't despair at least you tried.

Thats the main thing.

Heres what I suggest:

1) have an experience mate assist or remove it for you. You can then look how its removed.

Or A cheeky way is

2) pay/ask a mechanic to loosen the bolt only. (Be warned this request may not be taken with a smile)

Or if you have had enough (since another fuel filter change on this car is unlikely as the car is unlikely to be around or you plan to be rich in the near future to be able to afford to pay someone else)

3) pay a mechanic to remove and replace the fuel filter.

Not all repair/service job on a car can be won on your own.

So true. I tried to get the freaking bolts from my EGR valve and crack a socket and try all kind of ways and no luck at all.

Applying heat to the fuel lines is like using a blowtorch to warm up your nos tank.

Ha. I was wondering how long that "apply heat" was going to go unchecked.

Mine was a pain too when i first did it. Couple years ago I got so pissed that i cut the line and replumbed the whole thing.

I don't trust anyone or shops, I get screwed something gets stolen or rigged to break I never have proof to bust them. So I do things on my own, still havn't removed it yet
