How do i get the bolt off the bottom of the fuel filter, The bolt is connected to a metal wire that i cant get off...Thanks

 

its a bitch.
it will never come off.

 

Are you talking about the one that's welded on there??

 

use a line wrench and brake that 14mm bolt loose. remove the 3 bolt that hold the fuel filter on the firewall then simply pull the fuel filter upwards the gaz line will slide out, you don't 'remove the bolt, just break it loose. Only the top 17mm bolt is removable.

 

hehe i almost made that same mistake, trying to get that bottom one off.
best way is take top one off first (watch out for gas BTW even after i ran it till it stalled with pump off, a good amount still came out) then you can get the filter out, them things are nasty too
