Fuel filter replacement tip needed
Hey all. I am trying to replace the fuel filter on my 99' SE. I have replaced it before, but this time I am unable to get the filter loose from the hoses ( I can loosen both clamps, buth the hose wont budge). Anyone ever run into this before?
Thanks for any info.

grab the hose on the bottom , grab the filter and twist it back and forth - it always works for me.
remove intake and whatever else in the way - you need all the room you can get to twist that ***** !

yeah do that, put a pair of pliers on the hose, while you hold the pliers, grab the filterw ith a glove or osmething and twist it to break the "seal" and then twist it back and forth utnil it pops off, i did mine last week, was a struggle until i used a pair of pliers

Keep cranking the engine for a while, make sure there is NO pressure in the lines. I had one heck of a time until I just cranked the thing for about 30 seconds total and then it came off. Count to 10 three times, you are not really hurting anything, just don't do it every week.

Had the same problem a few weeks ago. Check out my old post for help.

Finally got it off !. Twisting and pulling at the same time was key. You would think that filter holds like a gallon of gas the way it was pouring out of there!
