Get a rachet with the proper sized socket on the end of it. I blieve its around about 14 mm. (metric baby!)

i can never remember the actual size lol.

the bottom nut is just too tight for my skinny ass.

Just realised my info was sooo wrong it wasn't funny.

For some reason i was talkin about an oil change.

Damn, i fcuked up bad. lol Sorry guys.

LEAKAGE! im GG..

ran a test b4 after putting everything back and revd it abit... and when i checked the filter.. petrol was leaking.

just tightened the nut n bolt will do?

thx.

[JasonGilholme]

should do.

Wheres it leaking from??

[mocchi]

from the top bolt of the fuel filter... i tightened it up some more before and gonna check if it still leaks again tomorrow.
its getting dark n cold, lazy lol.

[ECU-MAN]

sounds like you got a 95 accord

they are an absolute bitch sometimes

yes if it was leaking just need to nip it up

you need to put the 14mm spanner pref 14mm pipe spanner ( not 9/16 ) on the nut and a 17mm spanner on the filter and squezze them together to crack the nut. this way you wont rip the skin off your knuckles.

only use the corect tools because if you round off that tight 14mm nut then you will be in mo trouble.

[mocchi]

so a 17mm on the filter and 14mm on the nut eh? hmm...
that means turn the 17mm to the right and the 14mm to the left or vice versa?



thx.

[destrukshn]

please don't use cheap spanners that you buy for $1.50.
lol
they tend to **** things more than fix em.
lol.

[ECU-MAN]

you dont turn the 17mm spanner, just holds the filter firm and gives you leverage on the 14mm spanner with out damaging anything.

motherf.! the frikin bolt is so tight.. cant budge it at all... GAHHHH

bought the genuine honda filter ('95 gli) for 49 bux now cant even take the old one out...

*spent 1 hours and 27 mins trying to undo the bolt (the bottom one)

should i just like put everything back and do it at a mechanic? omg.. backache

thx.

Take 2 spanners, place one on the filter side and the other on the nut on the fuel line. Arrange them so that they form a squeezable angle. With your left hand, hold the heads of the spanner in place so they don't fall off the nut and filter. With your right hand in a leather gardening glove, squeeze as hard as you can. Don't worry, you will be able to get it loose. I'm a thin guy, and by squeezing I managed to get it off, while twisting the metal on the nut!
