Hey guys,
I will be replacing my fuel filter sometime soon. Any of you got any tips I will read the FAQ/s today. The filter I got has a hose type connection on both sides. Is this correct? Acoording to the FAQ's there is a 22mm and 27mm fittings??? So I am a little confused there...
The filter and pump sit in a subframe or cradle under the driver's side of the car, mid-ship, held up by three 10mm bolts. The pump is held in place with a cushioned band clamp, one 10mm bolt, that can only be accessed with the tray lowered. The filter itself has two different sized fittings of 22mm and 27mm: each end uses a different size. Do not use an adjustable wrench: buy the proper size open-end box wrenches (Sears). The sizes of the banjo bolts are 18mm (mates into the 22mm or 7/8 inch filter side) and 19mm or 3/4 inch (mates into the 27mm or 1-1/16 inch filter side). These are easily accessed with a ratcheting socket.
Thanks,
