Replacing 4g63 Fuel Filter
It sucks hairy balls. It literally took me like 3 hours to do it. The feed line from the tank broke so I had to fix that and weed out all the leaks, then fuel rail o ring gets fawked so I had to make two seperate trips to the auto parts store.
Don't ever do it if you don't have to.
Now that it is done, I think I gained like 5 hp, no joke. No telling when the last time the fuel filter was replaced on the GSeX.
Sorry, no writeup on this one, it can go suck some balls.

I replaced my fuel filter in early January this year right after I bought the GSX and it was one of the worst experiences of my life...

Mine came out of my car very easily. Did you take out the UICP. That will make life 100 times easier. I used a shit ton on PBblaster and a decent set of vice grips.

The UICP wasn't in my way so I had no need to.

How about removing the battery tray? That frees up a lot of space to remove that filter.

Fuel pump will be easy for me. I've already done one before and almost took it out when I was fixing my fuel level sending unit.
