That way you suck up all the crap in the tank and deposit in the old filter, too. It's a win-win.

This is the way to go. Let the WD40 soak in a bit first.

Sometimes a gallon or two of diesel can free stuff up, too. It's an oil so it seeps into the fuel line junctions and makes them easy to free up. |

I used the pointy end of a large zip-tie, smeared some petroleum jelly on it and worked it up under the line. Just do that all the way around then it'll just slide right off. Use a twisted up paper towell to wipe any excess out of the line before you put the new filter on.

1. Disconnect fuel pump fuse.
2. Crank car for a few seconds 3. Use padded pliers to take the tubes off. 4. Replace filter. Not that hard |

Ha, my hands are all beat to **** after removing the fuel lines from the fuel pump twice last night (forgot to reconnect the electrical plug on the pump after completely putting the car back together ) I was furious
The fuel filter hoses were not easy either. |

It's actually really simple when you have the technique down. What you do is you get a small flatblade screwdriver and pry the edge of the hose up a little bit and spray some wd40 or brake cleaner in the hose and they come straight off.

I pulled the lines off my fuel pump on my 96 Outback with 160k for the first time last week. WD-40 or PB Blaster, spray, wait, then some judicious pliers. Bingo! |

You can buy a set of reverse pliers. When you squeeze the handle they spread whatever you have gripped. Makes short work of suby fuel line removal.
