Where can I get the tool to release the fuel lines from the fuel filter? 98 f150 4.6.

 

any advance auto, oreilly's, auto zone parts stores in the tool aisle

 

Pep Boys, Auto Zone. . . . Any of the major parts stores will carry them. Ask the parts counter guy. Most of them come in a set of different sizes so you shouldn't have to worry about which size you need. I have both the plastic and the metal versions. I prefer the plastic one as it is easier to work with.

 

Thanks alot. New to f150s. Got mine 3weeks ago.Was a dodge guy before.

 

We'll try not to hold that against you.

Interesting, I've found just the opposite.

 

i like the plastic. never had one break in the 10 years Ive had them. the metal scissor kind are just a little big and cumbersome. they only cost $10 what ever kind you get.

 

I prefer the aluminum ones, like the red one one in the picture below...

 

Newt,

I prefer the plastic ones because they provide more "wrap" on the fuel line. I believe that it is almost 360* of wrap which makes it (in my experience) easier to open up and release the spring.

The metal one that I have (yours may be different) only has 180* of wrap, and never seems to work well. At least not without raising my bloodpreasure.
