You have 2 nuts to undo and none of the pesky clips. The larger bolt is attached to the filter, you hold that one steady with one ring spanner, whilst with the ring spanner on the other (that is the fuel line) you turn to undo. Give it a mega hit with wd40 or similar lube as the nut on my fuel line was incredibly tight. Once undone, you just slide the filter out. The bracket stays where it is. Make sure you note the correct positioning of the filter as it only goes one way, but you've got a pic already so you'll have no dramas. All the best with it! P.S, I hope your sister's AU filter is the same setup! The one way clips can be a bit of messing around to get off. GK

I did post a detailed diagram though, but unless your sister's car is different in filter setup from yours, you won't need it. I'll try to dig up a link for you! Just hang on, I'll have a quick lookie for it now. Ok I did write up a how to for the quick connector version! LOL! If it's not on one of my workshop threads, I'll have to put it up there later. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpos...3&postcount=37 Cheers, GK
