zwep Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Hello starquest community, I am new to this car and my 87 been sitting for awhile. I planned on flushing the whole fuel system, replacing fuel filters, testing the pump, blowing out the old lines, and putting it all back together. My bolts on top and bottom will not budges and causes the whole filter to spin in the bracket, could you guys give me any wisdom or tricks. I had considered just putting in my own system but I wouldn't know where to start looking for parts and fittings. Preferably I would like to get the bolts off as a whole new fuel system would be quite expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 been a while, but i take mine out of the bracket and there is a spot to put on the wrench below each fitting closer to the filter body to hold it still (i don't have a factory filter though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin_JAinsworth Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 If you are talking about the filter under the hood, follow the line on the bottom of the filter back towards the fuel tank and you will find a connector approx. 1-2 feet down the line. Take it apart there and take the filter out with the line. Put the filter in a vice and you should be able to loosen the bolt then.
