for some reason, the bottom of the fuel filter won't come off when i try to unscrew it with a wrench. the top is really easy to take off. everytime i unscrew it.. its just rounding the nut.. someone please help me... thank you.

is there a special way to do iT?

 

Flare nut wrench aka line wrench

 

i can find that wrench at my local autopart store? and this will work for sure right?

 

yes it will work. it's damn near impossible to do without one.

 

I did it without one, you will scrape your hands a bit though.

 

a flare nut wrench is essential in fuel filter replacement bc if you use a reg wrench, you'll round out the nut making it impossible to change again or even finish what youve started, allthough i've seen people get lucky w/using a regular wrench, i would not attempt it......you'll probably have to just buy a whole metric set, i havent seen them individual before.....thats the only way i've known to do it, it says in the manual you have to use a flare nut wrench too.

I agree a flare nut wrench makes any fuel line job easier, and if you have them or don't mind spending $$ you should have 'em.
But I got mine out today without one. Because I'm cheap.

 

ohh i seee.. im gonna go buy one then.. its like 10 dollars for one at kragen.. thanks.

In 1998 I got my first job at Advance Discount Auto Parts when I was 16.
I had always been interested in cars my whole life, but this opened up many doors for me.
I've owned 2 accords, and now I own a GSR: http://www.cardomain.com/id/sabotage7
Well, over the years, I had become an Assistant Manager at Advance Discount Auto Parts where they sent me to many courses and I learned a lot about cars! I even earned the name at some of my stores as "the honda girl" Unfortunatly, this meant everyone wanting me to work on thier cars! I've worked on many different types of cars over the years though, not just hondas. Well, after 6 yrs, I kinda got tired of all the bull-crap and quite working there. Once your hobby becomes your job, your hobby isn't as much fun anymore! So now I work for Progressive car insurance and now I basically try and stick to just working on my GSR and my husbands WRX!
