G'day,
Just a quick question about the Fuel Filter and getting it off. I tried for about half an hour to get the fuel filter off with a plastic tool that I bought from repco and a pair of plyers and it just would not come off. I didn't want to keep trying as it felt as though I was just going to break it the plug on the end. I don't think this thing has been changed for at least 5 years, maybe since the car was new in 2001. Has anyone else had a problem getting the fuel filter off, and if you were able to get it off, how did you do it? Is there any trick to doing it? Also if I just clamp the lines and break the plug on the end, how hard is it going to be to replace it? I would really like to change this filter but not pay to have it done as well every other fuel filter I have ever changed has been a 5 minute job, tops.
