I need to buy some tools for working on my car, what do i need to change the fuel filter? Line wrenches?open end? box end? and sizes in mm/inches

 

There is a banjo bolt that is either 10 or 12mm. And you will need 2, 14 or 17mm open ended wrenches for the fuel filter... one to unbolt and the other to hold the filter.

Honda/acura loves to use metrics 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 32 so get a metric toolbox set.

 

you dont see too many 8s but definately go to sears and get a metric set
combo wrenches 50 bucks for sizes 8-20

I recommend using flare nut wrenches as opposed to open end, for this particular case.

 

flare nut wrenches ... how much are they?

 

26 for sizes 10-17 or maybe 18 at craftsman

 

ok.. i did the filter today, and these are the tools necessary for this procedure:

-10 mm socket
-13 mm socket
-17 mm wrench
-19 mm wrench
-9/16 or 14 mm line wrench

It took me about 3/4 of an hour to do everything. I found it easier to get at the filter after i removed the intake pipe. Also, crack all the fittings before you remover the assembly from the fire wall... its very easy to bend the fuel line on the bottom. Otherwise, very easy to do, no busted knuckles, and swearing necessary.

Correct, you dont want to use the open ended wrenches for the fuel filter. Snap on calls these wrenches line wrenches if Im not mistaken.
