Hi good morning, The last time I changed the fuel filters on my 2017 6.7L I stripped one of the bolts and its leaking a bit, I bought a replacement lower housing from my local dealer, my question is will there be enough slack in the lines so I can get the clips off? If its a difficult job I will just pay a professional to do it, it doesn't appear to be difficult as long as there is some slack in those three rearward facing lines? Thanks for any advice

 

I got mine off no problem and it is the 48 gallon with the filter on the side between the tank and the frame.

Check out the videos and instructions for some of the aftermarket filter heads

 

Slack, no, you need to reach up and around the top of the tank to get to the fittings, OR drop the tank a bit. The small tank is not bad.


Somewhere there is a picture of the 48 gallon tank with it on the side showing the plumbing.

 

maybe you can put a heli coil insert in the stripped hole.

 

Or one of these…shop by size….i use them all the time…designed for plastic holes….simple

 

thanks guys!

 

The bolt broke off in there, I will try to get it out when I replace the housing that way I will have a spare
