Two questions.

[Paul Higg]

1) How easy is it to replace the fuel filter? Is there anything special I need to bleed pressure or will removing the gas cap suffice? Will there be a lot of fuel dripping out when I disconnect the filter and do I need new O rings?


2) How easy is it to replace the automatic transmission fluid? Do I need special tools? Can I just drain it and replace it? Is it better to take it to one of those oil change places? (I watched them like a hawk when I had my truck or I didn't do business with them).

It's right below #8 on the inside of the frame rail,I done my 94 about 6 months ago I almost never got it off,the nuts were really tight and so was the space for the wrench's!! I think new O-rings came with the filter!! O,your going to get gas down your arm!!!And try to get the car as high as you can in front so it don't siphon out of the tank!!!

Wrong.

First start your engine and then pull the fuse for the fuel pump or injectors. Let the car quit on its own. Then replace the fuel filter.

We are not hill billys here, use some common sense so you don't spill gas everywhere.

You should get a chiltons or a haynes or a factory service manual when doing your own repares. And another thing don't take any advice on the internet as the right advice.

#8 is passenger rear cyl of the engine.

If you have over 1/2 tank of gas you are still going to have gas running out of the line.

Your Absolutely Right,Including Yours!!:L:L:L Regardless if you pull the Fuel Pump Fuses and Injector Fuses,
Your still going to get 3 foot of fuel line gas down your arm,and if the front isn't up in the air it will siphon out of the tank unless it's below about 1/4 tank because the filter is below that level!!

I agree with all the above and add the caution to be careful with the new o-rings on the new filter. The threads on the fittings are very sharp and can cut the o-ring in a heart beat. If that happens, you'll have a fuel leak and will need to do the job again. I speak from experience.

Um, I have an FSM, repares is spelled REPAIRS, I KNOW we are not hillbillies here, and finally, I didn't ASK you.

Can't say that I have!!! otfl :dancenaughty

I do have one question for you though. Common sense would tell me that if one pulled the fuse for the injectors, all the fuel would still stay in the system and go no place!!! :bash :W :booger
