    Replacing Fuel filter

    okay here the deal. I decided to get a fuel filter. Im having troubles taking out the top bolt and the side screw thing. I used pb Blaster thinking that this will help but this has not. Now whenever u try and turn the bolt the 2 lines that are comming out just bent. I dont want to break them because i think ill be in deep sh*t.

    Anyone know how i can do thiswithout bending anything?

      did you try a good pair of vice grips??maybe some lube.make shure you take off your gas cap too so you will relieve pressure.

          ya well mine was easy to get off,i dont see why vice grips wont help,try tightening it first then loosen it so you can brake the hold.theres probably thread lock or something in those threads.i would keep trying.did you already bend the line and or lines?just tryimng to help man no reason to spaz out,

              Would using anti-sieze help before putting the new one in? Or is this a bad idea. One more question I have a fuel filter that Im ready to put in but it's a Fram, should I get a different one, that one only cost me 10 bucks thats why Im skechy on quality!

                  when you are changing it, dont take it off the bracket that holds it to the firewall. just leave it in that untill you break the death grip the thing seems to have for most people when changing it. and when you do it, try to do both bolts at one time because that seems to help for some weird reason. i think its because they both help holding it still. now you do want to be careful of those fuel lines that are bending, because when i changed mine i wasn't aware of techniques that made it easy so i just cranked down and it snapped one of my fuel lines right in two inside the bolt. ridiculous.. had to buy a small new piece of fuel line to run out of the new fuel filter through the bolt, and then i had to take a small rubber hose piece and connect the two pieces of fuel line with it. 2 hose clamps tightened to death later and no more gas spraying out when the gas pedal goes down. hahha
                  goodluck man and dont take it to a place to do it for you.

                  to the guy who had it easy his first change on it, do you think that maybe someone changed it once before you had the car? that could explain why it was actually easy, maybe you just got lucky tho, haha

                    i dont know if it was changed before.it was rusty at all or anythnig.maybe so though.it was really easy though a little pull and it came loose.maybe i was lucky.clean the threads really good whenit comes loose.

                      i am wanting to change my fuel filter.

                      do i wait till i am almost on empty tank? cuz i have about more than 3/4 gas and no want to spill too much.

                      will regular sockets, wrenches work?

                      btw, i did search and this is what came up so i decided to tag and ask. thanks..
                      hahahahah

                        hey my old thread is alive again..


                        I never had a chance to change my filter because the screwes etc where rusted in it . I kept bending the piping that the fuel line is and yeah i said screw it.

                        you dont need to have an empty tank.... U need to let all the pressure out look on the fuel rail and theres this 14 mm socket i belive you use to let the pressure out of it.

                        Then u need to move the vaccume line box near the firewall of the passanger side....


                        shit i gotta jet.. Hope it helps
