anyone besides Losiracer2 running the Bosch 71504?

I actually installed a Wix fuel filter on my daily and it was a very smooth process. No leaks at all. I had issues with Autozone ones leaking. Had to use vise grips to remove the fuel line going in though since my 14mm flare wrench wasn't rigid enough to turn the bolt, try to hit it hard and fast to break it free. For the 17mm nut, I used a breaker bar with one quick hit with my palm. The key to getting those off is to give lots of force in a quick motion.

oh I paid 20 bucks + tax for the Wix FF.

The Bosch is a direct replacement fit though which is nice.

If the price was the same, which do you think youd choose? Im assuming they are very similar in quality but since you have 1st hand experience with both id like to ask.
