Flare Wrench sizes? (done and Thanks)

[nemovr4]

What size flare wrench/wrenches do I need to replace my fuel filter??

Stock, with FP gauge mounted on top.







Thanks.

What wrenches do you have sitting in your tool box right now ?

Put the open end up to the bolts and match it up. You will not be able to get a flare nut wrench onto the portion welded to the filter based upon your picture, showing the retainer bracket for the outgoing fuel line. If you dismount the gauge, you can use a flare nut wrench for the top brass fitting to the fuel filter, but more than likely an open ended wrench will work, or a socket/ratchet setup. Sizes are large on the filter, somewhere 21-22 MM, but I could be off there. Most filters this style are close to that.
Somebody here will know the size, off the top of their head. Lots of rebuilding going ahead as the winter wears on. Oh, and whatever you re-use, don't reuse the copper crush washers, always replace those.

I don't remember off the top of my head, but you can check the size with a open end wrench, just don't use it, it will slip. If I recall, the bottom bolt needs a flare wrench. Crack it loose before undoing to bolts for the filter housing.

Thanks for the help guys, it was actually really easy. I was making a big deal out of it after reading some of the things that can go wrong. Especially since the car was sitting for so long. Got it on and off and replace in about 20 min...not bad for my fisrt time...kinda.

Thanks again!
