Maybe you live in a warm climate or something, but here in Michigan, where they put salt on the roads in the winter, there ain't a chance in hell of ever getting that fuel filter off. I've tried and stripped my nuts halfway down in the process. Even my dealer says forget about it.

be sure to spray carb cleaner into the throttle body hole where the idle air controler goes after you remove it, that helped me
