Changed My 1995 Ls400 Fuel Filter Today

Not fun... why does the filter have to be located above the exhaust and all the suspension components? really tested the flexibility in my wrists.

i wasnt having any issues with fuel delivery but changed it for fun i guess

Tool used were 14mm and 17mm flare nut wrenches

17mm combo wrench

19mm combo wrench

jack

jack stands

catch pan

new filter was a WIX

The day before I sprayed a bunch of penetrating oil on the connections

Good job but was it hard to break the nuts?

yes, i had to push pull as hard as I could given the limited space and being careful to not tweak the fuel lines in the process

as i was turning the connections I thought for sure something was getting stripped

I broke the fuel line connections loose while the mounting bracket was still connected for a little more stability

Its there for a good reason. So the dealer can charge a ransom to change it. Hmm either make sure that tank is almost empty or go to the trouble the break the siphon, if there is a rubber hose some place on the inlet a hose crimp tool could be used to stop the flow too.
