1994 accord ex. I need to replace the fuel filter. I know how to release the fuel presure. The concern I have is how to access the bottom fitting. Do I work from the top side of the engine or under the car. It seems a very tight fit under the car. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you...

 

it was very tight for me, teh only thing i have to say is that it willl take time. i did mine from teh top and had both arms down the forewall

 

If you take off the master cylinder, it'll be much easier.

 

I did mine from the top with a custom made open end wrench; cut the end off of the wrench (shorter so it would fit down there) and bent approximately a 35 degree angle in it next to the head.

 

This job requires a special tool called (14 mm or 9/16 flange tool-crows foot)
must be a flange tool, crows foot alone will strip the the lower nut
the job is done from the bottom

 

The best thing to do is cut it off with a hacksaw, remove the filter from the lines, install the new one and weld the pieces back on.

Man seriously dont do that shit

 

use a crows foot and a long extension get it from the bottom it's a 20min job!

 

Is there someone that can tell me what size Crow's Foot Wrench to buy?



Helll, I guess I could just run down to Sears and buy a set of metric wrenchs that I think would cover it.

 

dont be a dunb ass and use a SAE (9/16) on it yull strip the corners on the nut and be screwed.A short end metric 14 will do the job to get to it, yull need to get to it frum ontop, yeah its a pain buut thats wut us asina like, small spaces and hard werk ha ha ha.

 

Ummm...

Yeah. That is what I was thinking you'd post.
