Well, I got a new fuel filter and I tried to replace it. It doesn't seem like a hard job, but it's scary. When I say scary, I'm talking about bending a fuel line. I can't get the bolt that holds the line on the bottem off. Is it revers thread or something? I can't see it, so I can't tell. I'm really nervous to put any pressure on this thing and break or crimp a fuel line. Anyone have suggestion as to what I could do?

[right][snapback]343165[/snapback][/right] PB blaster is a wd-40 type product, just better. flare end wrenches are like normal box end wrenches in shape, but have a special end so you dont round off the bolts. i normally take the top banjo bolt off the filter, then hold the lower nut and break the filter loose with the 2nd wrench. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
