FrozenJakalope Posted January 5, 2015 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

FrozenJakalope Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Balls, I was afraid of that. I'll have another go after lunch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary91 Posted January 5, 2015 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Pinkygti Posted January 5, 2015 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

FrozenJakalope Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
