Fuel filter removal?

[Grannyscar]

Hey Guys;

Got that other problem solved, and thanks again.

New problem. I'm trying to get the fuel filter off and I don't know how to undo that green connector. I got the other end loose and tried to drain the filter, but the gas just kept coming. Is there a valve or something in the other end or do we have to get gas all over every thing?

Here is a picture of that green connector. I'm afraid if I break that one, it will be a real pain in the a%#.



Thanks....

Ken

I can't really tell but I think it's the type with clips in them and it looks like one of the clips broke...just pull them out, forget about being carefull and just buy some new clips..there like push in tabs

If the filter is the same as my '02, the new filter should have come with a generic clip that could be used to replace the OE.
If I remember correctly, just push upwards on the green clip with a screwdriver until it clears the filter and pull out filter. After you've done it a few times, it isn't so bad.

Got it. You have to push the clip back and the filter just pops out.

Thanks for your help!
