fuel filter

[croagy]

its not wanting to come off was thinking just cutting the hoses and using an inline one with hose and jubilee clips. seen them for skylines for coulpe of quid so will deff not rstrict the fuel.

anyone done this? any sugestions?

it is a nightmare of a job. I agree. Still, I think I would stick to the OEM part if possible. Where abouts are you having the problem? getting the hoses off the filter, or getting the filter out of the brackets?

I cringe every time I think of this job! It was by far the worst job I have ever had to do on the FTO and I have done a good bit at this stage!
I left the fuel filter untill last because I thought it would be handy enough right? "sure its only an in-line yoke" "Wrong!" Seeing it let alone getting spanners to it etc is a problem.
After 2 hours of chain cursing sitting up on top of the engine I managed it and will never "manage it" again! spending all that time and effort on what should be a 2 min job.

get either of the two hoses off the filter dont wanna nove and prob end up wreckin the clamp aswell tryin to loosen them. if i just cut it off and putt and inline one in. it would be a two min jb again and could be part of every other service instead of every 50000miles and hours of shouting and bleeps lol
