Im having a hard time unbolting the fuel filter from the line that goes to the engine. I already sprayed it with some wd40 and nothing. What do you guys suggest I do?

 

stick a wrench or vice grip on the filter where the line is going into then use your muscles to break it loose.

 

yeah hold the filter still with vice grips so u dont bend the mounting bracket, you can also try some liquid wrench or PB blaster, that stuff is good at loosening stuck bolts

 

its a shame that one is not the line going to the engine.
bring it to a lube shop, you are not qualified.

 

What are you trying to use to get it off? You really need a flare nut wrench and maybe some levereage on the end of that.

 

do you turn the wrench correctly?

lololololololololol...

 

Ert?

I never had to use vice grips...

A wrench should work fine.

Only thing I can say is make sure you're turning it the right way (things CAN get a bit confusing when you're not working from above or right in front of you (unlike "Harryflores" who bluntly implies that he's perfect at everything)) and make sure when you're moving the wrench you're open handed, haha .

Don't wanna end up with bleedy knuckles .

 

The problem is that is was really rusted, left it sitting with some WD40 overnight and on the next day it loosen easily. I don't know why people think I'm a beginner just because i have few post. Since i took it off, does that make me "qualified"?. Theres always the idiots that have nothing to contribute on helping with the problem.
