okay, jacked up my car, gave myself plenty of room after having read the FAQ.

first thing's first, i don't see a fuel pump near my fuel filter. i followed the line, and one goes back and up towards the tank, and the other side goes up towards the engine area. am i missing something?

as for the fuel filter itself, i got the read end look and got a nice spray of gas which leaked for a bit, and then subsided. but i could not get the either the front or rear side off. the bolts/nuts look slightly corroded, especially ont he front side.

the rear side looks like it has 3 parts with which i can fit a wrench. the fuel filter itself has a socket like portion, so i'm guessing i use that to hold the filter steady. the fuel line itself has 2 nuts on it, but they appear to be stuck together. are they supposed to be able to spin freely/independently of each other?

as for the front, it's just jammed on. i'm going to get an open ended wrench of the right size tomorrow to go over the front end of the filter 'nut' to hold it steady, and then go at the bolt again, but it seemed pretty jammed on there. is this normal? should i worry about it breaking?

thanks.
