Today I finally replaced the fuel filter on my '93 F-150... pretty painless once I bought the set of special tools to release the hoses.
But in the name of all that is good an holy, would it have been SO hard for Ford to put it a foot farther forward on the frame rail? I haven't a clue how someone with hands any bigger than I could release the inlet side hose... I could barely do it myself. What the hell was Ford thinking? if they'd just mounted it in FRONT of the side mount gas tank it'd be cake easy to service it but NOOOO... they have to hide it BEHIND it... is there a trick to make it any easier or do you just have to scrape up your left arm to get in there?
I did get it replaced, after some cussing. Good thing, too, because I could barely blow through the old one.
