Default quick fuel filter question..!

im in the process of changing the fuel filter, never dont it before, can anyone give any tips ? i got the top bolt off, but the bottom one isnt moving at all, and i dont want to bend the metal fuel line pipe by trying too hard to unscrew the nut.

i was gonna give up cuz it was getting dark, so i put it back together, then it started leaking gas!

so i gotta get this done really quick!

please help, thanks in advance.

your package should come with a few washers. i changed my fuel filter about a month ago.if its a gold nut. then well on the top theres two nuts where the top one releaves the pressure or something and the one under that tightens the whole thing to the bracket..

my dad has the most useful tool for that. a telescoping magnet... looks like a pen but has a strong magnet at the end. perfect for getting the stupid sockets when they fall into tight places
