GreenXR6T Donating Members 630 Member For: 19y 7m 13d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 01/09/09 02:15 PM Share Posted 01/09/09 02:15 PM Try and get hold of a flare spanner for the fuel filter flare nuts. (I can't remember the size as it was a while ago)It sounds like an easy job but can turn sour quickly if those stubborn nuts become rounded.Mine were very hard to undo and I'm sure it's a common thing.I ended up giving up first time round and then borrowing the flare spanner to make sure no damage was done.
