fuel filter bolt stuck
I am replacing my fuel filter, and one of the bolts (I believe they call it a banjo bolt) WILL NOT BUDGE. I have to work tomorrow afternoon so I need to get it off. Does anyone know any tricks to get stubborn bolts off?

Spray it with some anti-seize stuff and let it sit for a bit, then try it.
Try working the bolt back and forth. Try tightening it a bit, anything to break it loose. Normally I would suggest heating it, but heat around fuel system = bad idea.

Heating indeed causes the bolt to expand, but with this it moves in the thread, and breaks the "lock", so when it cools downit is easier/possible to remove it. But don't heat the bolts on the fuel filter!!!
