fuel filter stuck

[josherino]

I can't get my fuel filter off and I pretty much stripped the 14mm bottom nut, I used a lot of wd40 and open ended wrenches to get it off, does anyone have any ideas?

Try some PB Blast, though not sure how much this will help, depending on how bad you've rounded out that bolt. Are you using two wrenches (one to stabilize the filter, and the other to remove the bolt)? I almost threw a brick at mine, but right as I was about to give up, out it came like nothing had ever happened. These DSMs like to screw w/ you, I guess.

Good luck. :\

yea fuel filters on dsm suck, thats why i brought it to the dealership, and they forgot the gasket and it was leaking gas

Mine came off pretty easy with PB blaster. I was surprised since I read it was a huge bi*** to get off.
