Hello everyone,

I’m having issues removing the fuel filter. I can’t seem to get any quick disconnect tool on it. This was the filter put on by the previous owner. Any tips on how to get it off?


Thanks in advance!

Wrong filter, easy to put on but..... The only thing I can see to do is cut off the filter so you can engage the lock access then, don't think there is a tool made to get in that tight.

Yeah! I noticed the motorcraft one was much longer. I figured it would have to come to that.

Oy. That sounds risky haha. But there probably isn’t another way around it.
