Am I the only one who suddenly can't see the pictures in this post? I know they're there, I've looked at them before, but I'm planning on doing this to my RL next week and was hoping to have the how-to and pics on standby (I've never done the fuel filter before).

I have them hosted thru CarDomain.com & sometimes they don't show up (don't know why)

But here's a direct link to my CarDomain page & the pics...they're towards the bottom:

Thumbs up

Thanks Dan. I don't know why they're not showing up here, but I can see them on your other site. Thanks for the link, I'm sure it'll help.

I have the plastic disconnect tools and that blasted line still won't disconnect from the filter. It doesn't even really go in very far. It fits on the line well, and the new filter with one finger. Is there some trick to it or is that tool ghetto? Theres a metal one w/ a handle but it was $8 for all the sizes vs $15 for just 3/8. Do you need that handle to really get it in there and release the springs?

Oh I did depressurize the system, have a drip pan, eye protection, the right size tool, the other lines off. Its just that one stinkin metal line, it doesn't want to come off

For some odd reason all the pictures were Cardomain.net links, and they seemed to have changed hosts over to Cardomain.com. If Dan goes back and changes the links from .net to .com the pictures will come back.

This has happened recently in a LOT of threads. Anyone who has a how-to with pics hosted at Cardomain should check to make sure theirs didn't break.

You just gotta really work it in there. Use some force.

Yeah it was a pain in the butt.....I'll admit that & I was like "WTF?" too

I mean it sounds simple & it is....just slide the plastic tool in, but it took a lot of force to pull it out actually
