Thanks for your video I'm finding it harder and harder to find videos to fix my hiace I recently had to change my harmonic pully and radiator and would have been great for a video like this ad I found out all the issues while I was doing it. Oh and for any haters who say get a mechanic to do it the cost of maintenance now would be more than van worth if I had to pay someone.
Cheers for comment, I appreciate it! I’m hoping to do the radiator as a preventative maintenance job before the end of the year, as we’re heading off on a lap of Aus next year. If I get the time to do it, I’ll make a video documenting the process. From what I’ve seen so far, it’s a bit of a pain!
LOL @ easy way! If the bracket is installed the other way around, which it is in a few other rzh103r's I've seen, it has to be removed entirely to get the filter out, meaning it's a double fiddly job of getting everything in finger tight then trying to get angles to tighten everything almost blind, without losing O rings/bolts or washers, reinstallation starts with the bracket ( mount to block and tighten around filter) otherwise you cannot fully tighten the filter.. be prepared, and double check your mounting bracket orientation before disconnecting fuel lines!
@@The_Gap_Lap the bracket can be installed "upside down", but from below there not much chance of getting the top nut in or out directly under manifold. Possibly if ex-fleet the servicing was manifold off , thus, the bracket would be reinstalled "upside down" from our bottom orientation where the loosening nut is facing up not down. I've seen both ways, and The last one I did the top nut wasn't even there so could remove easy. but yeah, it seems it could be easy to go in, remove all the fuel lines then realize it's not possible to release the filter without removal of manifold, Good video nonetheless mate, I bet its helping lots of frustrated Hiace users as I've seen in forums people have trouble even finding it!
Good tip about fuel cap, I just got my hiace and have to put a peg under the lever to keep the cable stretched enough to open the fuel cap door, fair to say it was a lot easier with my old 86, just lift the tab behind the drivers seat and there is was!
Noce. I tried this morning. The 10mm bracket s bolt is on top of the bracket on mine. Makes it litterally impossible to loosen the bracket . Any ideas?
It seems there’s a couple people who have found this with their van, which is a shame. If I remember correctly, that bracket is bolted to the block with two bolts. They’re tricky to get to, but short of loosening it from the top (if possible), that’s how I’d do it, then reinstall with the adjustment facing down if it can be switched around.
@@The_Gap_Lap thanks. I got the bottom bolt. But barely a finger gap to get to the top one. I ll look closely agsin tomorrow. I ll try to put some additives in the tank otherwise. It run rough and want to die when first start after a few rave up its runs fine!! What is the white plastic screw with the spring of the efi block with suction for?
@@florentsanjose2343 that’s a shame about the top bolt. It’s definitely a common solution to add another filter in an easier spot to access. Not sure about the spring because I haven’t had to adjust it- have a look at the condition of your distributor cap & rotor, I’ve had similar problems before.
This was done with a 2001 with 2rze motor, manual transmission, should be the same procedure with models from 1999-2004 using the 2rze & manual transmission if my information is accurate.
Saving my life here
Good to hear! Thanks for the comment.

Wow, that’s an unfortunate find! Did it look like it could be reinstalled the other way around at all?

How are is it to remove the manifold? Got that problem this morning. Was even thinking putting the new filter next to the old one with cable ties😅
Thanks bro for the insight into where the filter is and the socket sizes needed. Greatly appreciate it.
No problems! Thanks 😊

Thank you for the video really helpful ❤️
No worries, glad it was useful!

Part number? JP parts dosent index the fuel filter for thr 2RZE for some reason
Ryco Z440 or equivalent in another brand, that’s for the filter with multiple spots to fit the hose. Would be my suggestion.
War year model is this please
