fuel filter won't come off

Anyone know a trick to get a fuel filter off a 95 s-10 2.2? My fittings are rusted so I can't get the filter to turn. Thanks!

Hey If it was me i would spray it with WD-40 let it
Set for a while and try it again... I had to do that
to my S-10 today.

If all else fails put a support behind the nut part of old fuel filter like a a big block and take a chisel or muffler gun and crack the nut part on the old filter.

thanks all! I'm gonna give it another try on Sunday when I have some help. I believe the rust came from the mag chloride they use to melt ice on the roads. I'm gonna pay better attention to the underside of my s-10 from now on! Thanks!

PB Blaster?! What is that?

It's a spray-can chemical that loosens rusted bolts/whatever else. Your local Auto shop or Walmart should have it. Just spray the bolts liberally one morning and if you want to, try it in 3-4 hour intervals throughout the day. If, with every attempt, it won't come lose, hit it with some more Blaster. My guess would be the first shot and letting it sit for a few hours would be good enough, or hitting it the night before and going and doing it in the morning.

thanks! I'll look for that!

You need PB Blaster for everything that is stuck. WD-40 doesn't begin to compare.

Just in case you can't get it off, the dealer sells a filter rebuild kit for when you finally have mangled it enough and you finally cut it off out of frustration.

I just cut the line and put a 150psi rubber hose on it with 4 clamps, hasnt leaked since and its been almost a year of driving on alot of different terrain, rarely any of its flat.
