Giving my 110 first service myself and apparently fuel filter hasn't been changed since 1840.

Is there an easy way to do this? I've tried the hand method. The oil filter strap thing, then a ratchet strap, tried pouring boiling water over it, easing oil and tapped the thing with a hammer.

I now have a bashed scraped fuel filter that hasn't budged and I need my car this evening!

HELP!

(p.s: been away for a while from comp - new baby)

The filter strap broke..

That was to be my next course of action... I guess if that fails I'm in the brown. Much fuel in there to spew out?

one and all a thank you - job done!

I assume the td5 pump stops making ridiculously loud squealing noises as soon as air leaves the system? Ran the engine for 3 mins and still making a din.

I'd have poured the old diesel from the old filter back in but it was all yellow and manky. Td5 self purges as long as the rail has fuel, yes?
