Ford Focus Fuel Filter - matt123
Has anyone replaced the fuel filter on a Ford Focus and if so how!!!!!!!

I've located the filter but cannot remove the one fuel line due to the position of the clip.

The bracket also appears impossible to remove due to the position of the nut and bolt.

Any input would be appreciated!!!!!

I changed mine last year - an arkward little job! I found I could get to the bracket bolt using a small socket set. The clips were just plain tricky. I can't remember exactly how they came off, but I managed with nothing more than a small screwdriver or two to open the clip. I think I removed the bracket before removing the second clip.

Clearly the higher you can get the car the better. I managed it with just a pair of ramps, although I had the grazed knuckles to show for it!
