I don't get the Plastic tool, I got Aluminum tool. I got them same place at AutoZone, IMO Aluminum tool is better than Plastic cause Plastic dig in short and Aluminum dig in deep. They are very easy to take off but of course Gas! It pour out a whole buncha Fuel, Yeah it's Sucks but it works.

I have the 3/8 plastic tool. Works fine. Just gotta finaggle it. If I wasn't so cheap, I woulda bought a whole filter remover kit. Do you have the right size tool?

Unreal how frustrated I was.

I have the metal tool, and it makes the job super easy.

Never had any luck with the plastic ones.

lmao. the metal ones i bought worked fine, all they do is just compress the little lock ring in the fitting so you can slide it over the nipple on the fuel filter. so i mean plastic ones work too, just a pain in the ass. try taking off the valve cover oil feed line............that thing is a pain in the dick because you CANT use this tool on it, no room to. so u gotta improvise with other tools lol.

i dug at it with a tiny screwdriver until i messed up the filter enough to rip it off with my awsome muscles! I tore the metal piece that holds the fuel filter on off the fuel filter, sooooo yeah, have fun with that!

I did thought about using screwdriver at 1st but I didn't. So, I bought that Metal Tool and I was surprised how much Fuel came out. Screwdriver gets Me feeling uneasy on the spot cause what if You are fighting it then FINALLY Popped Out. Whole Fuel will be Spraying all over Your Face! LMAO! That will be ******* HILARIOUS of the Day! LOLOLOL!

If u pulled the fuel pump fuse, and let the car runs till it dies it wont be alot of fuel coming out, i had maybe a cup worth of fuel come out on me.
