brybo86 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 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 new filter installed ONLY lost about 5 quarts of gas.... ROFL took forever, with gas running down my arms and neck... sucked old filter, i couldn't find any markings on it other than "KUG" ?? cut open... didn't seem very dirty.
sha4000 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Good job but was it hard to break the nuts?
brybo86 Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 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
Exhaustgases Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 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.
