Recently bought 04 F-250 Superduty. Went to change secondary fuel filter and the cap head broke. Will still be able to get off, but where can I buy a new one???
You can get it from any Ford dealer or if you are lucky enough to have a International dealer near by you can get it there. The list price from Ford is $56.55, but the International dealer should be able to get it to you for less then $20...
If you used a square drive ratchet in the hole, that's why you broke it. I don't know why they put that there, because it's just asking for problems.
It's a metric hex, but a 15/16" socket fits mine fine. You could still try that, or a pipe wrench if there is anything left of it. If not, you'll probably have to very carefully split it with a cut-off wheel. Obviously you'll need to get it spotlessly clean afterward.
