Special Tools?
http://catalog.powerstrokeshop.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=MorePartInfo&PartID=398263&siteid =214083&catalogid=4411
Is the fuel filter wrench worth the investment? I am about to change the fuel filter for the first time. The "how-to" on this site doesn't list any special tools, so I am assuming it can be done without one, but does this make it much easier?
Also, what are you guys using as an oil filter wrench? My old one won't go big enough for this filter. I used a pry bar and my hands this time, but I'd prefer a decent wrench.
This is for a 1999 7.3L F-250

The special fuel filter wrench would be handy, but you can get it off very easily without it. Actually, this would be the same tool you'd use for your oil filter: a rubber strap wrench. 
Just like this:
I use it on my oil filter, as well as on the lid for the fuel filter. Works great.
I think I got mine at Sears or some place...
