Release fuel pressure???

[camppain]

here is what i typed up for dsc topic but i guess he deleted it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

figured i would include it in here

1.release fuel pressure by removing fuel pump relay or fuse (your car should have one or the other either in engine bay or in kick panel) and fuel cap

2. start car (it should turn on and run for a few seconds then sputter and die out) try starting the car a few more times to make sure there is no fuel

3. remove fuel filter from clip(retainer whatever you want to all it) unscrew the clamps and move them out of the way.

4 you can (at times) just twist and pull off the rubber hoses or you will need some needle nose or hose remover (dont know the exact name of it but i got one from snap on)

5. remove the top one and put it to the side and make sure it does not drip point it upwards and away from eyesight (also remeber to be cautious while doing this in case you did not remove fuel pressure because fuel may spray you in your eye trust me on this one)

6 grab filter and lower hose and twist and tug. if it does not work use the tools mentioned in step 4

7. put some white lith or red grease (at least some lubricating source) on the ends that go in the hoses to make the next time you replace your fuel filter a much easier expierience

do not worry and think the hoses can come off this way with the grease.

to install just reverse the order
