Fuel Filter Problem
Hi
I have a problem with my new fuel filter
..
I bought a new one from Fram, and at this Filter the Cover and Filter are one and that is the Problem. At Rockauto I can buy only a Fuel Filter which comes into the old Black Cover.
I need help to remove the new fuel filter from the new cover, because I have tightened it to strong so it have become a crack
Please Help

You can't take the cap off that filter. Either get the filter without the cap and use your old cap, or get a new filter with the cap on. I have had the filter with the cap leak a couple times, now I will only use the filter without the cap built on.

If you need a new cover spend a few extra dollars and get a billet cover. Don't remember the names but a couple of places make a better cover out of aluminum - best part about these is they have a nut pattern machined into the top. Much easier to get off than the stock cover.

I've seen them for 12 to 14 bucks online. Amazon has 'em for 20 bucks.
