Loosen the bolts holding the fuel filter bracket to the bulkhead
To loosen the bolts holding the fuel filter bracket to the bulkhead, you will need to use a wrench. Loosen the bolts to remove the filter and bracket as an assembly. You can then remove the old filter from the bracket. Make sure that the inlet and outlet pipes are clearly labelled on each end of the filter. The flanged end of the filter should face down.
If you are using a new bracket, you will need to remove the two 10mm bracket retaining bolts from the vehicle frame. If you are using the existing bracket, remove the bracket and loosen the filter clamp bolt to slide out the old filter. Attach the new filter to the bottom fitting before attaching the bracket.

Check that the bracket can align with the bolt holes on the frame without placing stress on the lower fuel line. After tightening the bracket mounting bolts, secure the union bolt to the new filter with new lower and upper O-rings.
