my fuel filter is lord knows how old and i need to replace it, however it is completely stuck on there any ideas how to break it loose so i can change it?:nail:
 
Some get VERY tight sometimes you just gotta give it hell with whatever you can find. You can use vise grips as long as you don't snap the plastic fins.
 
A chain syle band wrench works great, and you don't need to worrie about plastic fins you should have a regular spin on style filter. The filter houseing is simple and easy to remove if you can't get it off with it on the truck.
 
There should be a spot for a ratchet and then fins around it. Use the ratchet and vise grips on the fins at the same time

oil filter wrench gets it. That's what I used.



Worse case is cutting it out. Done that too.
