Fuel Filter Replacement, Done Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Well, I got a new fuel filter and I tried to replace it. It doesn't seem like a hard job, but it's scary. When I say scary, I'm talking about bending a fuel line. I can't get the bolt that holds the line on the bottem off. Is it revers thread or something? I can't see it, so I can't tell. I'm really nervous to put any pressure on this thing and break or crimp a fuel line. Anyone have suggestion as to what I could do?

I finished it up tonight. Yeah, that's what I do on Friday nights, aren't I cool? Car seems to run a little better, the "chugging" sound is gone. This is mostly what I was doing the change for. I'll have to test out the car tomorrow to see if it really did the trick. It's to late right now to go out and rip on it, I have a loud exhaust and I don't want to irritate and wake people up.

EDIT at 2:05am: Well, it did help, it's offical. I tested the car on a hill near my house and mark the rpm change to see if it actually pick up hp or at least ran better and it did better. It usually dips 200rpm in the midle of the hill in 5th gear, then levels untill 5/8's of the way up, then it gains rpm. Now, it didn't dip and gain very slightly untill the 5/8's point at which rpm picked up nicely. Even if it didn't really gain hp, it sure does run smoother. I think there's an issue with my "Lowes Intake," though. That's next Friday nights adventure.
