Whilst unbelievably painful it does not, contrary to some reports, cause permanent blindness if you wash it out promptly with plenty of water. Best avoided though. This was the cheapest replacement I could find. https://www.skandix.de/en/search/?q=1312297 Last edited by Forrest; Sep 15th, 2020 at 23:45. Reason: Added link to pipe on Skandix |

Yes I did use a backing spanner, forgot to put it in... hopefully someone attempting to change the fuel filter will have enough sense to though haha.
Although to be fair the banjo bolt I shocked free with a ratchet and 17mm socket. |

An impact wrench on banjo bolts sounds rather excessive to me and as a last resort expecting to possibly cause damage. When I last changed my fuel filter l had an open end backing spanner on the filter and a ring spanner on the banjo bolt, so orientated that they were slightly offset so that I could squeeze them together. It took some effort but they eventually gave in and then loosened easily. I removed both banjos before removing the cradle and loosening the filter strap.
For the record, prior to crawling underneath to do the job I measured the shaped hexagon ends on the body of my new OEM filter to ensure that I had the appropriate open end spanners. They were 26.7 mms on one end and 22.0 mms on the other end. The banjo bolts are 18 mms and 17 mms.

EDIT: Sorry Ian I missed the previous post about the impact wrench and thought you were suggesting I'd used one! Like you say using an impact wrench would be very daft indeed! Last edited by 360beast; Sep 16th, 2020 at 13:49. |

Luke, I wasn’t alluding to you using an impact wrench. It was in relation to Forrest’s post #11 and his comment regarding the advice in a “how to” guide.

I think it may have been this that I read. It was a few years ago now.
