Fuel fitler replacement help

[andyk5]

I have a new filter that I bought off autozone and I am looking to install it my self. Is there like a DIY or something for this job, maybe a couple of pointers to prevent leaks and do it right the first time stuff?

22RE? All I ever do is pop the gas cap off to bleed the pressure in the tank, then catch whatever comes out of the line (after loosening the banjo bolts) in a cup or a rag depending on how I feel that day..
As long as you don't overtorque then banjo bolts and your copper washers are in good shape you should be leak free.

No its the 3.0 v6 but i am assuming ther is not a big difference. It is under the passenger door right?

I don't have any experience with the 3.0 so here is a link to a thread that has some good information...too bad about the pictures falling out though.

Ack, I did mine last week on the 3vze. Couldnt figure out how to get those copper washers to stay in though. Hopefully its just a 22RE thing.

No leaks so far......
