ND, I want to remove the canister on the new pump to ensure the filter is there before I install it.
It looks like I remove the canister with a filter wrench. Is that correct?
Is there a gasket that I will have to replace if I remove the canister?
I have never replaced the filter in this type of fuel pump.

I have found that using a rubber strap type of filter wrench works best with these kinds of canisters, if it is on there too tight to remove by hand.
Also, wrap the strap around the threads, not the lower body, or as ND pointed out, you'll crush or rip out the body.
(Don't ask me how I know this.
) The canister might be available separately today, but back then, it wasn't, so I had to buy an entirely new fuel pump.
It has helped me in the past to squirt some PB Blaster or equivalent around the threads the day before.
Hope this helps.

My 64 F100 292 doesn't have a fuel filter.
My 66 352 had a filter on the bottom of the fuel pump, the 292 doesn't.
I also do not have an inline filter between the pump and carb. The fuel line is hard metal, no rubber at all.
Where did the factory put the fuel filter?

10 year old thread you are responding to which is OK but most of those fellas are no longer with us.
In post #8 ND put up the drawings from the MPC showing the filters mounted to the bottom of the pumps. That's the way Ford did it usually on the V8s. Aftermarket can be found either way, top or bottom - or none at all.
