Can't Get the Fuel Filter Out?!?
I have changed fuel filters on other vehicles w/o issues, but trying to change the fuel filter on the 96 today has proven to be a difficult.

The tool you need is available at any auto parts store for a few bucks.

Yes, they release the fittings. They're quick disconnects...sort of....not so quick disconnects. Still a PITA sometimes.
