I use a deep socket and a U-joint with about 18" of extensions on a cordless drill to zap that back one out. The two by the heater core are easy either with a 13mm flex socket or through the wheel well. If you have an Excursion, it's flex socket only - no accessibility through the wheel well.
I remember the first couple of time pulling the passenger VC, I practically stripped the engine bay to get that bugger out. Now I just grab the oil filler neck and play with the puzzle for a few seconds.

This isn't on topic but everyone says to use Rotella T oil in this truck. I plan to use a Motorcraft filter along with the John Deere oil we use in our machinery. It's cheaper because I buy it in drums and it would be much more convenient. Deere's specs are pretty high so does anyone think there is an issue with this?

It is indeed CJ-4. What's the trick to removing the pesky plastic cap off the fuel filter. Mine is smooth with a 1" bolt head type fixture. I tried it with the engine both warm and when it was cool. No luck or I would have stripped that fitting right off.

if the top wrench portion strips out you can try a strap wrench
