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.

 

i swear this was just asked last week...do a search, the guy had the same problem

 

ah ha! found it!

 

searching does wonders huh?

 

it is amazing, one other question though

as i was taking the bracket off the firewall, a nut fell down from behind it, is a gold nut used as a spacer or anything ? or maybe on sumthint else over there?

 

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..

 

I hate droping things when working on my car..

 

yea, i think i found where it went, sum kind of spacer for the bottom nut for the bracket, because when i went to put the bracket back on, it screw down farther than before

 

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

 

How much was the fuel filter, etc...?
