Cannot remove fuel filter on F22B1 CD5 Accord EX please help!!!
This is rediculous, this is the 2nd day I have tried removing the fuel filter off of this car. I have all the tools in hand (crowfoot wrench etc) and have followed hondadude's tutorial on how to replace the thing but the fuel line fitting wouldn't even budge! This is seriously kicking my *** and the fuel line is all bent up now. I have tried everything and i am now seriously contemplating removing the entire fuel line and replacing it along with the fuel filter. If you have any better suggestions please chime in!

leave the filter bolted to the chassis. Remove the top bolt (prob. not your problem).. then for the bottom bolt you need to GET UNDER THE CAR. Take the crows foot and a long extention.. Should be a piece of cake. No one can figure this out for whatever reason. If had it done at 'performance shops' and they still try to do it from up top and bend the sh*T out of the piping. (shops SUCK)

Not familiar with hondadude's guide... but in my experience... just give up. Unless you really really need to change that mother ******. I did mine at work from underneath, and didn't even want to bother putting that clamp that holds the bitch tight back on... seriously it's just a retarded *** job to do unless it's absolutely in need of changing imo.
Basically you're going to scrape the hell out of your arms, and get frustrated to all ******* hell. Just keep at it, try some different angles. Drink a few beers in the process.

if interested, check the FAQ, it's linked in there
It can be a PITA. I did mine and a friends. Just go through the top for the top fitting and the bottom for the bottom fitting, the use of crowfeet and a long extension was the only way to get it done. The first time I did mine I had a hell of a time, but my friends wasn't bad at all.
