RE: Fuel Filter Replacement How-To-Write Up Discussion Thread
Ok so this is a paint scetch with proportional sizes of the relays in the glove box, Is it the one I circled the largest or the closest to the driver side of the three that are alike?

Ok on my bravada I removed the gray thing that goes through the relays to hold them in, but it still wont come out is there anyother thing holding the relay in or is it just really snug? Also is it necessary to depressureize the system if it hasnt run for say a day before doing it?

Relays are just really snug, just keep pulling on it. Yes it is nessecary to depressurize, since the fuel system is always pressurized as long as you have gas in it. If you don't want to take the fuel system relay out, just depresurize it on the fuel rail, by depressing the schrader valve up there, see the original write-up and it tells you how to depressurize the system in these 2 fashions. Good luck.

Might help if you state the year. Judging from your other post, you have a '95. I do not believe that the '95s had an underhood fuse block. If they did, it would be just behind the air box on the driver side of the engine compartment.

I think they're pretty much all the same...
You'd never notice a difference on the 4.3, anyway...
Also, a 5/8" wrench will work instead of a 16mm... I don't have a 16mm wrench... Most cheap sets don't come with them, because they're virtually the same as 5/8"
It's actually surprisingly easy to do, as long as your fittings aren't rusted/stuck...
To get the lines off the bracket, I found it easiest, once the fuel line is disconnected (which, btw, my truck STILL had pressure, even after stalling out with the fuel pump relay pulled), slowly twist it straight down, while holding on to the other three lines...
Or press down from above on the filter bracket... Just reach around the frame with your other hand, lol.
Didn't even have to jack it up, put it on blocks, or anything... Just crawled underneath.
