i CANT GET THE DAMN THING OFF!! HELP ME

 

yeh i had the same problem ummm use a filter wrench or hose clamp... the adjustable rubber hose clamp worked the best for me..

 

i have used a small chain and bar. made a twister. filter or housing one has got to come

 

 

worse comes to worse take it off the side of the engine housing and all... stick it in a vice and use what ever tools of destruction you can come up with (chain wrench will do a number) if you opt for that, there's a 3 er 4" section of rubber hose up tight to the cylinder head, it's a fuel return... replace it while you you have somewhat easy access to it... idk how common of a problem it is, but i've had to replace it before. good luck tho, once ya CRANK the filter on and the rubber seal swells abit like johnny Z illustrated all you can do is sit back and watch

 

i relocated my fuel filter housing so i dont have this issue any more
