So I saw this set of pliers online that look to make releasing the quick-connect fitting on the fuel filter much easier.

Have any of you experience with this tool? Is it worth getting? At Summit Racing they are ~$28.00

No experience and couldn't find any reviews on them, but a similar product (below) had 4.7 stars and great reviews out of 1200 customers on Amazon reaching hard fuel lines. With the fact you can adjust to straight position with the Cal-Van tool you found may be a big plus.

I spend 15 minutes trying to figure out what needs to be squeezed and pulled, and once I do I commit it to my memory. Problem is, next time I replace that #^&% fuel filter I have forgotten how to do it. At my age, my mind is already full. So, everytime I learn something new, some tidbit in my head is sent to the circular file. I guess the best thing for me is it to quit learning?

 

I find replacing my fuel filter the most annoying job on my Blazer. It shouldn't take so much work to replace a part that is part of routine maintenance.

I might get this tool just for this. Of course there's the stupid bracket too!!

 

Oxymoron: "quick dis/connect fitting"
