FrozenJakalope Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Trying to change my fuel filter, but can't get the inlet feed out. The one nut that's on there (14mm) is on so tight I'm just rounding it when I try to undo it. Am I missing something? Edited January 5, 2015 by FrozenJakalope Quote

FrozenJakalope Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Balls, I was afraid of that. I'll have another go after lunch. Quote
Gary91 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Try a flare nut spanner, less chance of slipping and rounding it off. One of these,http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clarke-PRO71-3-Pce-Metric-Flare-Nut-Spanner-Set-Sizes-10x12mm-13x14mm-15x17mm-/321451464842?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item4ad800188a Quote
Pinkygti Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Use a 17 or a 19mm spanner ( can't remember which) to hold the filter body also Edited January 5, 2015 by Pinkygti Quote
FrozenJakalope Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Cheers guys, failed again this afternoon so I'll swing by the diy store, get a flared nut spanner and try all of the above tomorrow. Quote
