iTrader: (0)  | Re: fuel filter Reptile has the location correct. But if it has never been changed before, you are going to want to soak the fittings with a penetrant before you try to loosen them. PB Blaster usually works pretty well for me. I would suggest doing it a couple days in a row before you change it.

iTrader: (8) | Re: fuel filter ^^Very true. Also, you will NEED to use a set of line wrenches....if you don't, you will very likely run the chance of rounding off the nuts. Also, when you start to loosen them up, you may want to back them off a tad, then apply more lubricant and then tighten them back up to work the penetrant into the threads. Then repeat to take them loose again.
