was trying to install a fuel filter, got the banjo bolt off and the harness bolt... was in the process of removing the bottom fuel line bolt to the filter, but BENT the damn thing... wtf did i just do? I wont start the car until i figure this out so tell me what i should do :\ how can i replace the fuel line? .


-why in the **** does the h22 have to have the fuel filter in such a gay *** place
- why am i so mechanically challenged -_-

 

How much did you bend it? if you bent it completly over your screwed. If its just a little bend it back so it fits in the filter holder. I bent mine when I last did it and as long is its not kinked or when you bend it back it dosen't crack your good. Be sure to check for leaks and make sure you don't cross thread the fitting into the bottom of the filter.

 

thanks, yeh i just rebent it back but luckily it didn't crack.. im gonna take it into a shop and just get a whole new line and have them install my filter.. im ****** angry that the damn filter was either rusted together or its just torqued down HARD... oh well late

 

same thing happened to me, i really kicked its ***.


i ended up relocating it.

thats the EXACT problem i had...

rofl you owned that ******, if i cranked that bitch 1 more time i woulda cracked my high pressure fuel line.. i went to kragen and all they got is this pos rubber fuel line which might work.. i got clamps also in case the bitch cracks.. but imma look into it more ....

could u explain how u relocated it? what kinda parts should i get? if anything, i need to take care of it asap , cuz im not diggin the fact that i got a ******* bent fuel line and a non-secured fuel filter which is probably ****** dirty / nasty as hell


btw nice clean engine... i realized today i need to clean mine more

 

Most of the time the bottom fitting is hard/ impossible to take off. The first time I changed mine I thought it was going to be a ten minute job. Four and a half hours later I had the new one in. I was fairly drunk at the time. In hindsight I probably shoulden't have started the project till the next day. For some reason most people don't change it... Did you not get the new one back on:
