Well, I picked up my new Motorcraft fuel filter at Advanced Auto Parts yesterday for $12. Came home and got on the forum and double checked where someone had posted directions (I think it was RockPick). Approx. 10 minutes later it was done. No broken blue clips or anything. The funny thing is I used a bent gemclip as a pick. I am happy I saved some money and didn't tear anything up. Later

 

Congrats! The first one is always the hardest.

Too bad there wasn't much info out there when I R2'd the fuel filter on my '97 back in 1999. I had to figure it out myself, but only took 10 minutes.

 

Way to go................

 

It wasn't me but, I'm glad you got through it!
