Just changed mine today...you need a 1/2 inch wrench and socket to loosen the bracket. 5/8th for the nuts on the fuel line and a crescent (or adjustable, depending on where you live--got to get more tools!) wrench to hold the filter. Remember to release the pressure at the fuel rail before you start. You'll still get a small amount of gas after from the the engine-side fuel line. takes maybe 15 minutes. Cheers! | ||

Mark: It is very common for the nuts to have rusted onto the fuel line. Be prepared for a difficult time. If needed, you can cut the line and use hose and hose barbs. | ||

I just changed mine saturday too. Very easy, but like Paul says I am sure if no one ever changed it you could be in trouble with a seized fitting. -leo | ||

I think you need a Metric Crescent wrench for the one side of the filter fitting. | ||

Some of the more expensive Crescent wrenches ar SAE on one side, and metric on the other... |
