Default Well, I got the fuel filter out...... but CRAP!

Broke the right-angle hose fitting that goes to the fuel pump.
Man, there is no room under there to get at it. I got a needle-nose pliers on the "push" part of the hose fitting, and as I was pulling, the thing snapped off.

I hope the parts depot in Chicago can get the hose here before Tursday.
I'm sure the local dealer does not have this hose.

CRAP!

I did the same thing, on the gas tank side. They had to drop the tank to get the hose in apparently.

Default Bummer. All I have to do is remove the plastic parts behind the passenger seat, no real smooth task.

At least the car is in the garage.

Default Funny - was looking up parts for my 60k and ECS has a warning about the clips

with the fuel filter. Was thinking time to change it and well - i'll leave it up to the shop.

Default That sucks. I was tempted to use pliers when I did mine, I'm glad I didn't.

I think i'm just lucky to have small hands.
