Fuel Filter Help

[billytheman1188]

Ok, so today i was going to change the fuel filter.....but i cant figure out how to get the damn filter off.....i see the bolt holding it on on one end and theres a clip on the other end. The clip isnt the problem.....the problem is that i can turn the bolt a little bit with the wrench, but then i cant get it back on the nut because there isnt enough room. WHY THE F*** IS THE DAMN FUEL FILTER IN A RETARDED SPOT? so looks like i might just drop it off to my mechanic and have him throw it on AND change my front calipers.

Use a vice grips or an adjustable wrench. It is a biatch but it is possible. Just be careful not to get gas in your eye when you take the filter off. Hurts like hell. Believe me. And why on earth would you take it to a mech to change calipers? Those are so easy.

[billytheman1188]

yes....they are VERY easy....but finding time to them is a pain in the ass. I will probably end up doing my calipers cause i cant see paying someone to do them when they are easy to do.....but i was just pissed when i posted....lol

Using vice grips sounds like a good idea, maybe some other day when i have some patience

i looked at mine, and it was rusted all to hell, so i took it to a mech, and they did it for like $30. and it took all of 10 minutes.

Just make sure you dont round the bolt off for next time. You know that one of them is tacked to the filter, you hold that one and spin the outside one loose.

Soak it with penetrating oil or wd 40.
