Well I finally got around to changing the fuel filter on my rig Monday. No small task considering it is hard to reach in there and dis-connect wires and such. I think I could have engineered it a little better to make it somewhat easier.

The pickup is even worse. After you have changed it a couple of times it will be easier.

Did you remove the fender skirt (2 clips)? That really makes the job easier.

My guys change it with the oil service as a package standard procedure. Its not worth getting dirty changing it out at home. I do however keep a Spare and a Spare-spare just in case.

Be well,

Much easier to change at home than on the road, which I encountered 3 times. Be sure to carry a spare and tools to change it.

I'm convinced that the fuel tank is not properly vented on some units, probably due to a cap problem. The telltale is a vacuum release when removing the cap at refuel.

Like anything, with practice it becomes easier. I also put a spare water sensor in inventory. Next is the bleed screw.

I hope OP removed the plastic fender well while changing filter.
Get a after market bleeder screw made out of brass. The plastic one Is just waiting to break.

not only the fender skirt, but also the air cleaner housing to make it easier to get to the bleed screw for the priming operation. i think jacking up the front end and removing the tire would make it even that much easier to get in there. i'm going to remember that for next time.

Mark, what tool would you use to take off the lug nuts? I think they at 400-450 lb ft of torque.

30mm deep impact 3/4" drive socket. 3/4" breaker bar and a 4' long 1" black pipe. Will take all your weight on end of pipe to break nuts loose.
Another option is a Torque Multiplier Lug Wrench with a 30mm socket. Works very well. I just do not know how long it will last.

i'm an old dirt farmer, so a long handle breaker bar with about a 4 foot pipe on it for leverage.
