What is the proper Fuel Filter Line Tool Size???
I bought one that says "Ford Fuel & A/C Line Spring Coupling Tool" Performance Tool p/n W83113. It has sizes 3/4", 5/8", 1/2", and 3/8".
None of them fit inside the fitting to release the hoses. Am I doing something wrong? Am I an idiot? Do I have the wrong size tool?
This is for a V10 SD. I did post in the V10 forum, but there is not much traffic there.

I won't comment on the size of your tool or being an idiot...
The fuel filter should come off with the 3/8" fitting. Depending on dirt & grime inside the fuel line connector, it can be VERY difficult to get the spring to release. Maybe spray a little WD-40 in there to clean it out. Also, don't forget to remove the safety clips that hold the line to the filter!
