fuel filter toyota hilux

eorna · 2012-07-15 18:32:54

Any tips for changing fuel filter in hilux 03??, is behind the air filter and bit tight, looks like the housing needs to be removed but do i need to disconnect the fuel lines and take out the whole piece? or just unscrew the housing and change filter in it..like the tractor one and leave fuel lines alone? Any info welcome.

Unbolt the whole thing and stick it in a vice to undo the filter.
Just watch the water sender on the bottom, some of the spurious filters have a really tight thread on them and its hard to get it out without damaging the funny white hex.
