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!

why are you trying to change it? are you suffering fuel starvation?
usually, honda filters last the life of the vehicle.

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.

As I said in reply to your private email, it's best to get a garage to
change the filter. It's a bear getting those bolts undone by hand.

Is it necessary to replace the fuel filter at my mileage, or is it
really lifetime as previously posted?

It's a good idea, but not absolutely necessary, no.
Generally speaking, I like to change them every 100,000 miles or so.

U mentioned impact wrench on filter, which is fine. What about the
nut on the bottom of the filter. The top has the banjo bolt that can
more easily be accessed.
