Seriously, it sounds like the easiest thing to do is just cut the stock metal fuel lines on both sides of the filter, then just put a cheap inline filter in between. Connect it using 1/4" fuel line and hose clamps.

Damn Fuel Filter. Craig aka hcriddick21 and I spent HOURS trying to get the damn nut off under the filter. Craig went under the car. Then over. Then him undernearth the filter and me over and still it wouldn't come off.

We bent the fuel line so much that it began to worry us, so we gave up. Nothing seemed to work.

Yep never have I ran into a car that it was so friggin hard to swap out a fuel filter. I remember I changed mine years back and it was a little pain but nothing like Screws. Also change another before to and first time changing the filter it was a little hard but then after its pretty easy. Whomever first put on the original filter or did the first fuel filter change damn near welded the bolt into the bottom of the filter. Sorry Aviv, wish I could of helped you out more with it. Least I got ya a free oil change. Let you know about the paint job hopefully in the next day or two. Trying to bring three peoples business to him so hope he can help out.
