hello all, thought i'd have a quiet day doing a bit of vehicle maintenance today. Was changing the fuel filter on my nissan terrano (2.7 td) and have found the old filter doesnt want to unscrew, i've tried different filter wrenches,wd40 etc. but ive only succeeded in scraping and denting the metal on the old filter which is probably unusable now. Nightmare!!!! It was on there when I bought the vehicle earlier this year so I guess it could have been on there for years. Anyone got any ideas or suggestions? Thanks, Rob S

If you are changing the filter you don't need the old one, hammer a screw driver horizontally right through it and unscrew the filter using the driver as leverage, old one off new one on:001_smile:

Take the bleed bit out of the bottom first though!

Thought just occurred to me, you aren't trying to undo it with it all still in place, are you? You have to undo the bolts next to the priming pump and lift it out first. :001_smile:

 

Could be, :blushing:i'll have a look in the morning, it didn't say that in the manual (just to undo the filter sensor underneath)..

They can be a pain,try taking the housing off and holding it in a vice,use large pair of grips or stillsons to undo.

biggest pair of grips you can fit in the gap and it should un do
