Yes, I realised that the spring clip could be a problem: I removed that, and also the earth tag - but still could not shift the filter. In the end I drilled out the rivets holding one of the 3 vibration-mounting feet, which meant I could lift out the plastic cowl which holds the pump and filter, and easily drive the filter out using a tube spanner and a mallet. Curious to see that the fuel flow is: tank -> sedimentor -> pump -> filter -> engine, i.e. the pump is not protected from jamming if there is grit in the fuel?
Still waiting for the new filter to arrive by so-called "first class post"!
Another question: having drained the sedimentor (nothing in it but clean diesel as far as I could see) will I need to somehow prime the system? Or will the pump be able to suck air through the pipes until the fuel arrives? Thanks!
