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?

What size flare wrench is needed for the job? 14mm and 12mm?
edit./ nvm I tried changing using standard tools and failed. The top bolt was easy to remove but the 14mm underneath was a bitch. It slipped twice and I just told myself to giveup and send it to the garage before i do further damage. sucks having no tools This post has been edited by soven: Dec 31, 2005 - 9:35 PM |
