get a set of flare wrenches. it really helps with disconnecting the filter from the bottom because it can be really tight on there and a normal wrench may strip the bolt. A flare wrench made my fuel filter replacement 100x easier.

on my 5th gen it took me 15 minutes to replace it i used a 14mm open wrench and some mm socket... along with a 10mm... unscrewed the bracket and it basically just fell out... unscrewed the two tubes on top... put the new on in.. voila... simple

i don't know if newer models are like that? you don't need to take off the braket to replace the filter clamped in by it...

i'm sorry it was actually $15 at trak auto... btw they're getting bought out by advance so everything is on sale

Guys...after we install the new fuel filter do we have to reset the ecu, especially when we have fuel controller (like fields)?

not that i know of, but turn your car to the "on" position, turn it off, turn it to "on" again and let the lifters and injectors start pumping the fuel so there are no air bubbles, than start the car.

Thank you very much...I guess you just solve my other problem that I posted in other thread....I changed my fuel filter on monday afternoon...I used the car monday night there's no problem...but tuesday morning I can't start my car...indicator lights and the ecu sound were on but it just won't start. Suddenly the alarm was on.

yeah, if you have to you can trigger the unloader in a vapor locked car by pushing the pedal all the way to the bottom and turning it over. this is also the only way to cure an FI car after flooding...dumps all the gas out as soon as possible i guess, not really sure. never had to do it to my civic, but my s10 flooded a lot.
