Good quality pipe spanners will help. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27295-replacing-fuel-filter/page/3/#findComment-615689 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good quality pipe spanners will help.There is a trick to undoing the filter. One is a 19mm and the other a 14mm I think. What you do is position the 19mm which is on the filter against the body in the undoing direction. So as you turn the 14mm the 19mm presses against the body. if you still cant budge it hit the 14mm openender with a hammer or use a tube on the spanner to get more leverage.I changed one on a BA and it was so tight and the one on my EF was easy to remove. If I had just held both spanners in my hand I would not have been able to remove the filter on the BA .

If they do I'll get them to change it, and see if they will use my new filter and just take that off their price of the service? dunno we'll see!

Something that they usually dont stock on the floor, have to ask to see there book for em then order it. The Jack was $352 but that was on the cheaper side as I have a friend who works there.
