So I need to change my fuel filter. I know where it's located. My question is this: do you guys have any tricks to getting to it and changing it without removing everything around it? It doesn't look easy, but I have to do it. Truck is '91 with 22re and 4wd.

 

Majic Wand. And Wizard Hat.

 

Magic is pretty much right. I had procrastinated for a few years, and finally did it while I had the front end disassembled adding BJ spacers, new pads & rotors, differential, CV axles... you get the picture. Even with everything off, it was still a pain to get my hands in there, and my hands are not exceptionally big.

 

take off wheel, unbolt access panel, and squeeze your hands in there and do your best, I just changed mine, I ended up just tightening the bolts back up untill I felt it was tight enough by hand, there's no way to get a torque wrench in there.

 

But I don't have a magic wand and a wizard hat...

 

what he said: 1st time I did it I removed my intake, what a pain.

 

Off topic, but trumpfan, I really like your quote in your sig.

 

i didn't think it was that bad it only took me about 25-30 min

 

I need to change it on the ground, it's the thing I need to get it running again. I wish I had access to a lift, but I can't, as it won't run without me changing the fuel filter!

 

I changed mine. It was easy. Of course, the body was off the frame at the time.

 

dunno wut 2 tell u............Oh, yeah this sucks.

 

a lift would not help at all...

 

Yeah, but at least I wouldn't need to be kneeling and fighting the fuel filter. Oh well, that's what I get for almost sinking my truck. I gotta do, sooner or later.

 

A strong 1/4" air ratchet with some extensions to get
it off the mount.
To get the fuel lines off a really long 1/2" ext to get
the front line off. The rear is a nice long box end like the craftsman
pro series.

Make sure you open the gas cap and take the lines off first.

 

Geesh mine was a pain and its easy to get to hehe

 

just yank off fuel inlet hose to filter and reverse the gunk out bakwerdz. see Recycling to save the planet.

 

it'll be good garsh I'm soooo bored.
