2005 5.4 Fuel Filter cover
Found the post telling where the filter is and have the tool (used to have a 99 and changed my own filters)
Question, best way to remove the plastic cover? it's not obvious (at least to me) and I don't want to break the clips.
thanks.

Man I need to get it submitted as a tech article......
I didn't realize that the '05's had the 3 prong filter.
It's essentially the same operation still.
