|
|
Hi all I tried to do a service on my 51 plate trooper managed both oil filters and air filter but the fuel filter was a mare. I took off the shield two 10 mil bolts then took both fuel pipes of before taking the other two ten mil bolts of that hold the filter housing in the truck I removed said assembly and applied one of those filter wrench efforts ... no joy I was even causing the filter body to bend with the force , so I gave up and put it all back before I broke it Now my next action would normally be to have stuck a big screwdriver through it ... but I thought better ask the wise first just incase there is something I am missing.

So the general feeling is to get awsome on it . I shall take it out again next weekend clamp it in a vice , stick said screwdriver through it and get the SOB off. |
