Default fuel filter???

I tried replacing my fuel filter today and couldn't get the non-hex bonjo bolt off. I tried as hard as I could. Anyone have any problems with this?

It was somewhat difficutl, I did mine a couple days ago, you have to give it a quick jerk, but it will come off. It took me like 2 minutes, just to have the filter tightend so it wouldnt turn. Good luck

I had a crap load of trouble with it before. I even broke an open ended wrench trying to get the damn thing off. And yes I was turning it the right way. When I finally got it off it seems the thin copper washers that seal the bolts, crushed into the threads locking it all together.

you use something that's called a flare nut wrench....it looks like an open-ended wrench but has one additonal cut built into it....get it at any parts house....with it any flared lines become real easy....Honda uses diff. size nuts on diff. cars....i think on the CRX it's a 1/4"....LMK how it goes....
