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?

QUOTE(soven @ Jan 1, 2006 - 12:16 AM) [snapback]373407[/snapback] Is there a chance of screwing up the bolt even with the flared wrench? I wonder if there is a better way of doing this. Kinda tempted to get the flare wrench and have another go. There's always a chance of screwing things up, no matter what your doing to your car. Some people just can't work on things machanical. If you can't, have someone else do it. You just have to be honest with yourself on what you can do. Wiether that is knowing that something is easy and you can, or knowing it hard and you can't. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy
