Fuel filter cap tool and AIH delete







Disconnected the hot wire that goes to the AIH here. Cut the ground and put a wire nut on it.


don’t know if anyone has ever had their filter cap on super tight and ended up breaking the plastic fins taking it off or putting it on but I was in my tool drawer and saw the socket for removing the spindle nuts for my 85 bronco and it t works great for removing the cap as long as you have the cap with the fins on it. These sockets are used on 85-96 F150s and broncos. Also did my AIH delete and hooked my boost gauge up today. Riffraff was out of the tapped plugs so I found this one from Backwoods diesel was $11.

Nice post. I use my filter wrench to take mine off. Don't remember now if it's the one for are truck or the smaller filter, but they work also. Nice to know on the hub wrench socket. We always like guys that can post pictures. Keep up the good work.

Yep. Ended up using a 3/8" extension and a dead blow to get it loose. That's when I went and bought this:
