    Next time don’t remove the filter secure bracket… remove the hoses first or loosen - I’ll be easier because the filter will not move. That’s what I did and it worked well.. I did removed the clamp first but I had a hard time then I put the secure clamp then I can put more pressure to remove the hoses. But you did great and like the idea of using the stoppers from the new to old filter 👍

    My process is the following: detach the hard line going to the engine bay from the retaining clip. Remove the front hose. Unscrew the filter retaining bracket nut so the filter can now move. Now it’s much easier to undo the two back side hoses. Go backward installing the new filter. My 2 cents learned the hard way.

    anyone know the diameter of the rubber hose bits on the fuel lines that attach to the filter? 3mm also? My metal fuel lines are fine, but noticed the rubber ends that connect to the filter were dry rotted. So I postponed the install until I get replacement rubber
