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?

Hmm.. I changed mine with a normal set of wrenches and nothing more. I have to say that my GT was the easier of my two vehicles to change. I did my 93 geo prizm and that was a 4 hour job because it was my first time and it was more buried than the celica. 6gc is right there...I got er done in 30 minutes flat.
Just start with the bottom connection which I believe is 14mm and turn it clockwise to losen, since it is upsidedown. When you do the top connection..one thing I did was take the bolt out and draw a line on the top of the bolt marking which direction the hollow part of the bolt takes in order for fuel to flow through it. That way when your putting it all back together and you do the top connection, you can match the line so that it lines up in-line with the fuel hose coming out of it. I can understand though that in some cases bad things can accidently happen. However I found the celica to be pretty easy. |
