Default fuel filter

It's really not as hard as it looks. First thing you need to do is remove the gas cap to releave the fuel pressure in the gas line.The second thing to do is remove the bottom flare nut from the fuel filter. To do this you will need a 14mm crows foot line wrench socket a long 3/8 extention and a 3/8 impact gun to brake loose the flare nut, after you brake loose the flare nut you will need to use a wratchet on the end of the extetion until you can remove the flare nut with your fingers, do all this from underneath the car. Now from the top of the car you need to first remove the bolt from the fuel line at the fuel filter then remove the bracket that holds the filter. To do this remove the 6mm bolt using a 1/4 air ratchet with a short extetion and a 10mm socket and thats it. Install in reverse order but first put the filter in the bracket and slide it on to the fuel line and start the flare nut with your fingers and thread it on as far as you can then put the bolt in for the bracket and tighten it up [this can be done from the top of the car ]. Now you do the rest in reverse order. You don't need to tighten up the flare nut with the 3/8 air gun just use a 3/8 rathet and get it as tight as you can with that. To replace the filter should only take abut 20-30 minutes for the first time.
