I did my fuel filter about a month ago, following Pauls useful guide, as i'm pretty sure it had never been replaced. Mine is a 1990 GL so the filter is more conveniently fitted to the bulkhead. I sprayed, the unions with Plusgas a couple of days before and they came off fairly easily. The difficulty i had was trying to tighten them sufficiently once the new filter was on as access is a bit restricted especially by the bonnet spring/hinge. I ended up buying a 15/17mm flared spanner from Halfords for about £6 as (this is like a ring spanner but has a slot cut out so you can pass the pipe through it). Probably will never use the spanner again but it helped me to tighten the union without rounding off the nut. Hope this helps and good luck. Dave
