Yeah, and it's a pain in the ass to get at. Toyota did that on purpose because it's supposed to be a lifetime part(good for the life of you vehicle). And people kept trying to change them periodically, like they do with domestic vehicles, which was unnecessary. So Toyota made them difficult to find and remove so people would be less inclined to change them needlessly.
Gas in the eyes too sux...
I did mine in 10 minutes...Wasnt hard for me...
I didnt need to remove the gas tank or anything else.

That is the theory, however in reality the fuel filter can and will clog up. I've seen it happen before. Additives, bad gas, any thing out of the ordinary can cause a buildup that will noticeably cause the car to run poorly.
And every thing works in theory right! :biglaugh: (spoken in complete sarcasm)
In seriousness though your completely right. I probably should have mentioned it in my earlier post. These filters can clog. I think the point that I should have made, was that these filters don't NEED to be part of ones annual tune-up.

Yeah I agree. I would think every 7-10 years a fuel filter should be changed. Definitely don't need to do it every year.
What have people done to resolve striping the nut on the hardline. I tried removing my filter 2 years ago and even with a box ended wrench rounded the bolt. I ended up just bolting the banjo bolt back on and leaving it. I was thinking of getting a walbro fuel pump and just drop the tank, replace the pump and the fuel filter at the same time that way i have easier access to the fuel filter. Any ideas. What about relocateing or getting a different fuel filter and makeing it more accessable?
