Fuel Filter Replacement on 98 Explorer
I am seeking advice on how to change the fuel filter on my 1998 Eddie
Bauer Explorer. The filter, located below the floor - directly beneath the driver's seat, is spring-clipped into the fuel line at each end. I have tried in vain to disengage the spring clips using the 3/8 inch pale-blue plastic quick-disconnect tool offered by POWERBUILT. Regardless of how I try, I just can't get the fuel line loose. Any suggestions on how to disconnect the fuel line from the filter?

make sure to push the fuel line towards the filter, install tool and then
pull don't pull and try to get the tool in, the spring inside will stay locked that way "Passerby" > wrote in message ups.com... > I am seeking advice on how to change the fuel filter on my 1998 Eddie > Bauer Explorer.

It it isn't coming out then it's just stuck.
