Subject:      Installing Fuel Filter on an 88 Cant get filter out!
Content-Type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII

So I just started to notice a little hesitation when taking off and realized I have not changed the fuel filter in about 2 years so I wanted to change it today but can't figure out how to remove it from the metal circular bracket that it sits in.

I have unscrewed the bolt at the bottom of the holder but now it just spins and is not loosening. How do I remove that piece?

Also what direction do the arrows on Mahl filter go? From the front of the van to the back is shows a fuel line, then the pump, then the filter.

Does the filter point the arrows toward the front of the van or the rear?

Thanks again!

Rob
