I took my car to the mechanic today to change the fuel filter. After 2 hours of work he says he still couldnt unscrew the lower nut (fuel intake?). Packed everything back the way it is. Any advice?
The nut is all battered from him trying to take it off but it still wouldn't budge. (It's a 7AFE btw) -------------------- You say you love flowers but you pick them, You say you love animals but you eat them, I fear the day you'll tell me you love me.

first you need a flare nut wrench, and pb blaster. get the two wrenches, shape em up like a scissor and squeeze em together. mine was stuck like hell too. of course if it is too damaged you may have to use a vice grip for the lower nut. you might need to also reflare that line if needed.

I had a hell of a time with mine and wound up taking it to a shop to get help with that lower nut once my knuckles were bloodied enough to give up. --------------------  |
