[Backk InTheCB7]

All the picture links are broken. OP, can you please rehost?

the replacement is basically straightforward, only a noob could mess it up

I messed up my first time, i bent the fuel line and ended up with a leak... It was my fault cause i wasnt using the proper tools. I fixed it by buyin a new steel line from autozone, bending, flaring and fitting it with a compression fitting. it was a pain...

here's a pic of the filter after removing the black box and intake...

i buy my fuel filters from the dealer...around $20 from what i remember

This is really great, but is there any possible way to get a re-up on the pics, coz I really want to replace my fuel filter and I just bought one. Would love to do work on that this weekend. Thanks!

Did you ever take off the fuel rail bajo bolt to relieve fuel pressure like the Haynes manual says?

just relieve the fuel pressure by opening the gas cap and then when you take off the lines to the fuel filter there will be little gas coming have a rag with you to clean it up. no need to open the banjo bolt, The fuel is not under that much pressure

complete newbie question but how often do you guys change your fuel filters? What brand do you prefer or is there no difference in your opinion. Let me know.

well I just change mine when I got my car, I heard if u want your gas mile to increase change it every 12k, gas mile did really increase, before i go 23 mile per gallon, now i hit 25 mile.
