If I ever strip the nuts that screws the fuel lines onto fuel filter
Just concern if I ever strip the nuts that screws the fuel lines onto fuel filter.
Are these the correct parts (see image)?

Yes, looks to be.This actually happened to me this week .However I only had to cut the line on the engine side though.I just bought a 14mm fuel line fitting with some 5/16 steel tubing + some -6an SS braided hose I had laying around and took care of it that way. I'll try and post up a pic tonight or tommorow.

Always attach the two metal lines to the filter and then mount the filter to the truck. You cannot go wrong.

Use flare wrenches when you undo the lines and you should be fine.

+1 on the flare nut wrenches. 14mm and 19mm. Spray on some Kroil days before removing the filter.

I'm still really confused why everyone keeps replacing the lifetime filters in the first place. Only time I have ever needed to even crack those loose was to verify that the tank was empty when the fuel gauge screwed up once.

Maybe if you cut up a filter that has been used for while you'll see why!

Of course it gets dirty its a filter. It really only matters if it gets dirty enough to actually limit the flow or start contaminating the fuel. I have neither problem at 210k on the 4Runner and have never had an issue with any of the previous 30 some Toyota's that I've owned. It is after all designed to be a lifetime filter.

Bump
Looking at the above posted pic, what is the part number for line that exits the fuel filter that travels under the hood?
Tried to replace my fuel filter and it's frozen. I had treated it with liquid wrench for five days prior. Thanks for the help.
