Default tune up question. 97 Accord 4cycl

what do I have to do to take out the oil pcv valve and replace with a newer one? What about fuel filter? Any help would be great.

fuel filter wasnt too bad, just make sure both the ends are tight and you use new copper washers. and be sure to depressurize the system before or your eye may sting for a while.

You say the fule filter was no problem. I am just wondering how you got to it... from the top, bottom... did you remove anything and what... can you provide some details? I just replaced the plugs, wires, valve cover gasket, distributor and rotor. I bought a fuel filter and after several attempts at it I gave up and returned the filter to the store. I have a 97 Accord LX with 175,000 miles on it... I am sure the fuel filter is the original and I want to replace it.

Thanks,
Chris

ar..dont even go there, don't whine unless you work on a 3000gt and dsm before

there's a little bolt that release the pressure from the fuel system, it's located on top of the fuel line fitting, it's all there so yeah.
some fuel filter are tricky to get to.

remember to take off the batter lead first, have some rag ready for the gasoline spill.
30-45 min job
