trying to change my fuel filter. on the bottom of the filter there is a nut for the hard line. is it reverse thread or regular? i'm going counter clockwise and that thing wont budge. please help

thanks in advance

 

it's a stubborn SOB, but if memory serves me, it's regular.

 

cool thanks.. yes it is being very stubborn!!

 

its just really tight since its a flare fitting.

I would suggest using a flare wrench and then instead of pushing on it with all your might you shock it with a hammer or your hand.

It helps to keep the fuel filter bolted down so it doesn't move when you smack the wrench.

 

thanks tony

 

yes - use two wrenches.

i think it's a 20mm

14mm

for future search references... make sure you screw the hard line in first before you mount the new fuel filter. i mounted it and then had to take it off because the hard line was a little too long to stick under the mounted filter.
