    825i fuel filter

    Just ordered a new fuel filter for the yearly change per the manual. I am not very mechanically inclined but according to the manual, this may not be too difficult of a job even for me. Just wondering if anyone has replaced it and can give me any pointers for doing it or if there are any tricks or anything that I need to pay special attention to that is not mentioned in the manual.

    They pull out but you will most likely break them. I would make sure you have 2 new plastic locking clips before your pull it apart. Both of mine broke at 1 yr old....glad the parts guys warned me I would probably want replacement clips on hand.

    Might be worth getting some metal squeeze clamps as an alternative.

    I have not installed a new one yet but you have to release the pressure on the fuel system first.

    How do you release the fuel pressure? Any good way to get the clips out?
