I just put a pair if vise grips on it an off she came real easy

Sent from my DROIDX

 

You can get the proper oring (gasket) is how its listed from Dodge for about 2 or 3 bucks.
I carry a spare in the glove box

 

Yes I got mine from the local Dodge dealer for around 4 bucks.

 

I hope im not missing anything

But today i unscrewed the bottom portion (17mm or so). Pulled off bottom section, got a little fuel on me. Lol
Used an allan key to remove a plug in middle. The heater came off.
Top portion did not have an o ring but bottom did so i screwed it back on and snugged it tight

I didnt need a shorter plug at or.... Or do i??
Also does anyone know how i can secure the wireing at all. So i dont have a live connection just sitting in the open??


Also does anyone

 

Yours may be (pretty sure) different being a 97...I watched a youtube video ( ) of a guy doing it on a 94 and it didn't require a different stud. Your heater and lift pump and pre-filter assembly are completely different.

 

I just did mine and it made the motor much smoother running after the leak was gone. Btw I got the case part and it was only like 11 bucks

 

I am fixen to remove the fuel heater on my truck and went and got the shorter stud. So here is a pic of it for yall wanting to see what it looks like.



later
