Hey guys.

I was trying to change my fuel filter this weekend and I am having a problem. The problem is that the bolt that holds the gas line coming from the gas tank just won't turn. I purchased a crow foot and attached it to my wratchet but it just won't break free. I even tried with a flared nut wrench but no luck. I tried lubricating it with WD40 but that didn't help either. I cannot heat it because it's on the gas line and it's not safe. I purchased a drill bit that drills into steel. Is there anything else I should try before I go ahead and drill into it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks.

 

i got the same problem and dont know what to do?

 

This is just a thought,but could it be the filter has left hand threads?
If so, you would be tightning the filter instead of loosening it.

Other than that, I would continue to spray some liquid wrench on it and just let it soak.

Good luck.
