Hi everyone, this is my first post. Have been reading on this site for a few days now, very interesting reading here.
I am going to try and change the fuel filter but would like to know if there are any problems I might encounter.
I was looking at the filter and it seems you need torx heads to loosen the clamp that holds the filter, can anyone tell me what size? Another question is how do remove the the preheating valve from the locking arm? I have the service manual downloaded but want to make sure before I start. Any other advice is appreciated.

I got the fuel filter changed today. Wasn't to hard of a job, be a lot easier next time now that I see how everything goes together. Getting the clear fuel line out of the filter was the hardest. Maybe it will come out easier next time.

Thanks for the information.
