figured id document this round of filter swap



youll need to jack up the car and will only need the followin..

needle nose.. 3/8 ratchet with 10mm socket and extension..angle pliers

eye shield is an option but not necessary..

as long as your careful enough.. ya can complete this swap dry..

..and new filter of course..

remove the negative battery cable..

relieve pressure from removing the gas cap..

remove the 2 shields for easier access

remove the clamp with a needle nose...

do so with yourself bein on the driver side avoiding being splattered...

as you pull the hose... curve it up..

remove the (2) 10mm bolts that holds the filter bracket

once removed..make sure you dont pull out the rubber grommets..

move the assembly a bit closer to use the angled pliers...

notice the orientation of the pliers to get to the clamp...

btw.. while pullin..put one finger to cap off the end of the filter..

again to avoid bein splattered...

remove the bracket off the filter.. (1) 10mm

pay close attention to the orientation and the raised portion..

its a guide for your bracket...

no need for dishwashing liquid to slide the hoses into the new filter...

dont over torque the bracket btw..

hope this helps..

have fun..

wanna help me wiht mine?

bring it to me and i'll replace it for a 12pack of beer



Good write up Jio, you may also want to consider relocating the filter while you're at it... will make it a lot easier to do next time around.

fikse.. come one down

grey.... done it enough times from havin had the four fds that its no longer a hassle...
