Hey guys, I wanted to change my fuel filter the other day and well I ran into a problem. There are two lines: One: runs from the fuel filter to the fuel rail. The second: on the bottomfrom fuel filter to the fuel tank. I took off thetop fuel line, and I started to work ondisconnecting the bottom... but the bolt on the bottom is stripped. There are two places to put wrenches and plythe fuel filter and line appart, but now I cant because only one wrench fits. Is there any way I could grip or get the bottom piece (the fuel line itself) tostay put while I turn the fuel filter off? And if the the bolt breaks in the fuel filter then what? Is there a way to replace the fuel line the runs to the tank?[:@]

 

are you using flare nut wrenches?

if not, you should

 

I don't know what that is....

Oh those are pretty cool, but I don't think they will do the job if the bolt is already stripped, orwill they?

 

if it's COMPLETELY rounded off then you might be in trouble. but they do work really really well.

 

Okay thanks, I'll have to look into them!

 

If the line wrench does not work , you are going to have to use vise grips you can buy a small rounded pair that should work if you know how to use it, if it breaks , wich it should not, you are going to have to put a new line on it, not hard to do
