I am trying to replace the Fuel Filter in my 94 5.0L. I bought the Quick Disconnect Tool at Advanced Auto Parts, but I don't seem to have room to use it. I have never used one before, so I decided to do some reading and watch videos. From what I could gather I don't have enough room to use the tool.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I understand that I have the tool backwards in my picture, I was trying to illustrate how I think there is not enough room.

Thank You!

Someone put the wrong filter on. Is it like that on both ends?
About all you can do is take a hacksaw and cut the filter tube off then get it out of the fuel line connector.

It does look like that on both ends! Good to know I am not losing my mind/missing something. A hacksaw it is, this should be fun!

Thank You!

The only thing that my truck ever went to the shop for! I bought the tool and would try to get the lines loose until I couldn't handle it anymore. Throw the tool, kick the tool box and went back at it the next day after I calmed down. Same scenario several times over a period of three weekends. I went to my neighborhood shop and they swapped the filter in about 10 minutes for $25. Well worth it!
