    Fuel Filter Changing

    Whos changed a fuel filter out there?

    I went down to the holden dealer and got a fuel filter, and decided to change it on my astra.

    it is located beside the fuel tank. i jacked up the car, brought some cloth for spillage, and took off the mounting screw.

    but, i cant manage to separate the clips on either side of the fuel filter. they say, with care, you can use a screwdriver to take it apart...

    whats your advice and whos dunnit?

    i recon it'd be the same as the one in the commodore.

    and no its not a hard job. its clearly visible and easily done; just expect some fuel spillage.

    imad4u - do you know what the tool is called? i know vauxhall/holden have a tool for the job of taking the clips apart..
