1997 CRV Fuel Filter
I tried to change the fuel filter in my crv and cannot get the bolts
to loosen up. Is there a trick to this? I tried to depressurize the fuel system by removing gas cap. I have the new honda filter in sealed packae for over a year. Please help! |

The vehicle has 111000 and thought it wouldn't hurt the fuel system or my mialege. I avg 23.49mpg. It runs fine though, so maybe I should just let it be. |

What about the nut on the bottom of the filter. The top has the banjo bolt that can more easily be accessed. |
