thanks.

Should I also cover the driveway with newspaper and get ready for a lot of nasty gas? I dont really think that my filter has been changed ever but i'm not sure. Just guessin

Just park somewhere that you don't mind having gas pissed all over becuase it will happen.

I just grabbed a towel....its not a lot of gas, just a "drool" and drops after you unhook the lines. After you detatch them, just push them up so they stop dripping.

so you do need a lil disconnecter type tool, cause i tried prying mine off by hand and was so unsuccesful, my connection is metal. does autozone lend out this tool or can i buy it for cheap?

Dave2000GT

If it's the metal connection dont bother it is physically impossible without the tool. All it is is a little piece of plastic called a fuel line disconnector, go to any auto parts store I paid $12 for it but that's becuase it only came in a set with 5 different sizes, you only need the 3/8" disconnector.

lol damnit ford, stop hurting me. i pried on those connections for a minute, didnt wanna do damage so i gave up. ill go back to autozone later and get the lil nifty tool later =(

Metal connection?

Mine just had little plastic clips....

justingt

would it be worth it to switch in a focus pump?

Dave2000GT

Yah apparently there are 2 different types of connections I was surprised by it too since my haynes manual showed the plastic clip connection, the metal one IMO is kick *** becuase once you have the tool it is really simple and the new filter just *clicks* right into place.

This doesn't deal with a new pump.. The pump would be in the tank.
