I'm steadying the filter with a 19mm while I try to remove the banjo bolt on top, but it won't budge a single degree and I'm afraid of bending the bracket to hell if I apply any more torque. I've generously doused the bolt with PB'laster to no avail. Is there anything else I could try?

just torque on it. penetrating oil wont really work here since its a crush washer in between. Not meant for fluid to get through

Not meant for fluid to get through So there's no risk of plastically deforming the support bracket? What about the hard fuel line underneath the filter? Those are the only reasons why I'm afraid to use more force. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
