Petrol filter removal
« on: 14 May 2009, 19:07:10 »

I am having trouble changing the in line fuel filter.  Is there a special tool for removing the old one.  I have tried pointed nose pliers to no avail.  Help would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Oakwoodpete :)

It's a bit of struggling without correct special pliers. I bought some cheap electicians wire-stripping pliers and succeeded with them.

How-to to the filter change is in the guide-section  :y

Thanks all who replied.  Got some pliers for £5. Made all the difference.  Have since done my own and a friends. :y
