How the heck do you remove that bolt? I was able to get a socket to it, but had no room to move the ratchet arm to loosen it. I went though the wheel well for the lower mounting bolt as well as the banjo bolts. Kind of claustrophobic to get my right arm and head into wheel well/engine compartment with tire turned left, but I was able to get to the filter. However, that top mounting bolt seemed impossible...?! I actually, gave up since I was running out of daylight, and ended up mounting the new filter on the wheel well inside the engine compartment. Luckily, the fuel lines were long enough to attach to the new filter, and if I need to replace it again, it will take 5 minutes rather than ?? hours!
