Fuel Filter Replacement

[lduffner]

Has anyone replaced a fuel filter on the 2008 model yet. The process looks a little more intimidating (and complicated) than the one on my 2003. Any tricks or suggestions?

I still pull them from the top,some people are removing the fender liner to make it easier.

just use a filter wrench you can get to it from below just be carefull when you loosen the drain they leak I use a 1 gallon freezer bag to put around the filter before I remove to catch the excess.

It's not that hard to do from below.

I changed mine for the 1st time today (from above/hood). Pretty painless. I let most of the fuel drain out first.

Are there detailed instructions anywhere for the fuel filter replacement on a 6. 7L?

There's some inside the box with the new fuel filter. :-laf



All joking aside, the instructions are good.
