Fuel Filter Removal
Whats the best way to remove the Fuel Filter? I already took off all the tighteners all I have to do is remove the hoses from the filter but its really stuck in there and the more I try and tug at it the more the hoses move and I really dont want to break the hoses. (The hoses are made out of steel not rubber) I tried and twisting it off but no dice.

WTF kind of tools are those. I never used anything close to that. I noticed that yes it is a removal tool, but I used this type. Comes in a six pack.

RE: Fuel Filter Removal
yeah you can get either at any parts store, the wrench tool is better I believe b/c it gives you some leverage to push inside the quick connect. FYI you will need this tool to remove other lines like your A/C, so you should just buy them. They are only a couple of bucks.
