Default feul filter install

hi there. I recently bought a new feul filter for my 93 z28. Shes been hesitating an i can't figure out quite why. So how hard is it to take off the old one an put the new one in. Run me through the steps if you can. Thank you

You say its not hard and then say never heard of a fuel filter? Are you drunk?

I think he was commenting on the incorrect spelling of "fuel"

It's not a spelling bee, no big deal. O2's are only difficult because the clips are a pain in the ***. Just follow the instructions on the link, you should have no problems.

Pass side O2 is the only hard one. Fuel Filter is a breeze unless it's rusted together.

its simple jack up the rear a little and you will need a quick-connect separator and 2 cresent wrenches make sure you take off the fuel cap. as already stated maybe 10 min.

It's infront of the Drivers side Rear Tire, up on the Body.. pretty easy. Bleed it first or it will squirt all over..

I assume you guys are talking about the O2's on Stock Manifolds.. with LT's they are cake..

If you take the gas cap off to release the pressure it will keep the spilling to a min.
