2nd rookie post of the day!

Any tips on unhooking the fuel filter? Got one side off and hooked up the new new one, the "out" side is harder and it won't move regardless of what i use or try! Daytimes running out! help!

got to use the correct tool on those but can be done with long nose pliers if careful

first time I connected… I didn't do it right, and when I started the car it burst of and pissed out everywhere! Turned the car off and jack it back up in overdrive, and managed to connect it better the second time, made sure it was connected as far as it would go, and tired a few times to physically pull it off and it would not. Pretty happy with it, If I lose the connections on the freeway or something or break down, I'll take some photos, could be worth a laugh!

Pretty sure i bought the right tool… bur have NO idea how to use the bugger of a thing…

there's a couple of different ones, but had a bugger doing sons vz with him, could get one side not the other

Push hose ends in further the push on the two little tabs and pull off filter, spray some wd40 on it first to soften the dirt and crud

Make sure that you de-pressurise the fuel supply before attempting to remove filter (guess that you already found that out).
