hole in fuel filter

Hey, trying to get the fuel filter out. Can't get with the 1/2" drive... using a pair of oil filter pliers, put a hole in the filter.... fuel everywhere!!!


Is it counter-clockwise (looking at filter through wheel well) to loosen

Any help????

Chris

Sometimes the gasket can hold them on real tight.

As viewed from the end unless it is a Left Handed thread.

My neighbor just broke all 4 bolts off his calipers while beating the wrench with a hammer.
He was looking at them from the backside. I ask him why didn’t you stop after the first one broke? He has a FORD
