Cannot loosen fuel filter help?

I'm not sure the correct name of the tool but it is like a ring spanner with a slot cut out of it which allows the spanner to go over the fuel line and onto the nut, normally need two of them. They are normally done up that tight its ridiculous, BUT if you try and use a shifter or open ended spanner it will strip the edges of the nut and you guessed it you will need to buy a complete new fuel line so make sure you have the correct tool. They are available from most tool stores, not sure if you have a book on the vehicle to find the correct size of the nut but if you don't let me know I will get my old gregorys book from the roof and have a look for you, either that just slipping an open ended spanner on the nut will at least give you the right size spanner required.

Have you thought of putting a tight open ender spanner on the nut, and giving it a "crack", with a hammer ?

Are you actually loosetning it ?... are you turning the nut the right way.

Can you take the fuel line off from a different loaction.. ie further down the lines, and once removed, placing the filter in a vice ?

There are lots of ways to do the job..

When all else fails, take it back to the garege, that put it on, and get them to do it !

Had the same trouble with my sons Camry Couldnt get the nut undone.

Mangled the filter and the line

Ended up cutting the line and getting some connectors from Qld Hoses and fixing it that way. HAs been Ok for two years.

Thanks guys the info is help full will buy spanners.
