Fuel Filter: Service and Repair

CAUTION: Be sure to reduce the fuel pressure before disconnecting the fuel feed pipe, otherwise fuel will spill out. Cover the pipe connection with shop towel to prevent fuel from splashing (caused by residual pressure in the fuel line).




1. Raise the vehicle and remove the two fitting nuts while holding the fuel filter nut securely.




2. Remove the fuel filter mounting bolts, and then remove the fuel filter from the bracket.
