Once the filter and hose come apart be ready to move out of the way quickly or you can get a few drops of gas in your eyes.

Please consider using safety glasses or goggles.

Cussing and perseverance usually works for me.

Save your knuckes

Take those clips off, spray a little brake cleaner into the connections, waith 15 minutes and hey presto the filter comes off as easy as 1, 2, 3.

I find the plastic tool works the best, also rotating the filter while you pull seems to help.

Those hoses are on there good. Is there some trick to this that I am not thinking of?

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving,
John

Problem is metal fitting on filter seizes up inside plastic fitting
