I had some time today and my truck is about due for a fuel filter so I decided to take pics and do a write up. Here it goes.
Here are the things you will need...
-Fuel filter
-Water in fuel sensor wrench
-Thread tape
-Big oil filter wrench
-Gloves
-Tuperware or cup
-Transgel or other lube for O-rings
I go straight through the top to get to the fuel filter, unplug the WIF sensor connector, loosen the fuel filter with oil filter wrench, then unscrew by hand. I bring the fuel filter up through the AC lines and battery area. Then put the old fuel filter un tupperware.
Next use the WIF sensor wrench and remove the WIF sensor.
Remove old O-ring and give the WIF sensor a shot of brake clean to clean it up, put on new o-ring and a couple layers of thread tape, make sure you wrap the thread tape in the same direction as the threads so it doesnt bunch up while tightening, next lube the o-ring with transgel.
I tighten the WIF sensor snug by hand and then give it a half turn with the wrench.
Then onto the big o-ring, get it set in nice and snug in the groove, then rub some transgel on it, get it in the crack around the o-ring, this will help it stay in during install, next lube the center o-ring/bushing, this will help it slide on nice.
