Hello Yota Gurus,

I was attempting to change my 3.slo 4Runner fuel filter and in the process rounded off the flange nut. No amount of force and PBlaster has been able to free the nut from the filter. I have used the search function and google but have come up with no Part number for the forward fuel line.

I was able to get the line from the tank to the filter off. Now the filter is hanging off of the fuel line "outlet" side (towards the engine). My friend suggested heating it. HA, might pass on that move. I would prefer to just drop the whole line with the filter attached and get a new one. OEM prefered, I am not excited to bend a new pipe into place unless I have to. Is there a way to use a tubing cutter and just slide a new flange on. Plumbing is not one of my fortes.

Thanks for any help that you might be able to provide.

Lunch and some fresh air has lead me to greater searching.
The part I seek is known as "Tube, Fuel Main" with a toyota part number of 77251‑35660. Now I just need to find a source for it.

still searching,

Disregard all that has been written. I have once again found what i seek at https://www.1sttoyotaparts.com, they rock! You have to type exactly what they have listed or the search comes up empty. Took me a while to get it to work. Yeah.

The dealer has the parts as well. Took me a day to get mine. The line from the filter forward to the engine is a pretty easy install, at least on the trucks (3.0). I had a little difficulty breaking the fitting from the hard line to the flex line in the engine but it eventually broke loose (just inside the passenger side front wheel well.
