Default 97 1500 fuel filter 5.7
Man, I am trying to remove this fuel filter, and I ain't havin any luck. Not sure if it is the original but the lines are very tight. I sprayed some wd40 on them and will let them sit. Any recommendations if this doest help? If you know the wrench sizes needed would also be helpful. Was using adjustable and would not hold.

Thanks Smitty

The fuel line is 16mm depending on the filter it is 19mm-21mm. Get a can of PB blaster from the auto store it is far superior than WD-40.

and get a "Line wrench" not an adjustable... you can twist the fuel lines if you are not careful with the adjustable....
