Raise the car and secure it on stands.
Front wheel drive vehicles. Unscrew the screws and remove the protective panel located in front of the rear axle (see fig. 4A.9).
Security note. The fuel supply line is under pressure. Depressurize the fuel system before disconnecting the fuel line. To do this, loosen the fuel line clamp, then cover the connection with a rag and, being careful, remove the fuel hose from the fitting. Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from fuel. Avoid skin contact with fuel. Use fuel resistant gloves. Do not use open flame - fire hazard! Make sure there is a charged fire extinguisher in the immediate vicinity of the workplace.
Place a suitable container under the fuel filter to collect escaping fuel.
Remove the clamps securing the fuel hoses 2 and 3 (pic. 4A.10), using, for example, the HAZET 4590 tool.
Pull hoses off fuel filter 1 (see fig. 4A.10). At the same time, put a thick rag on the joints. Then, carefully tightening the hoses, reduce the possible pressure. The filter is full of fuel.
