I'm trying to change a fuel filter on a 94 shadow, do I need a special tool to remove the fuel lines from the filter? I cant seem to figure it out, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

i got a 94 spirit.. and its easier than looks.. the lines that go onto filter are quick disconects... there well be a plastic piece that well be between filter and metal end of gas line..plastic piece is already inserted into metal end... push plastic piece into metal end and hold it and pull filter away from gas line... your new filter should come with a piece of gas line with a quick discontect on it, you can practice with that..
hope that helps you.. good luck jess s.

I changed mine the other day. THe one side has a regular hoe clamp. but the other side yo should use a special tool to depress the lock. I could not get the tool in so I used a screw driver to depress the lock and pull the hose off the filter..
Good luck:

Suggested Repair

The fuel lines use quick disconnects. Push the plastic retainer into the metal line end, hold it, and pull the filter away. One side may have a hose clamp. A fuel-line disconnect tool is preferred for the locking side; if it will not fit, a screwdriver can depress the lock so the hose can be pulled off. Practice on the quick-disconnect piece supplied with the new filter.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1994 Dodge Shadow asked whether a special tool is needed to disconnect the fuel lines when replacing the fuel filter. One reply explained that the lines are quick disconnects: push the plastic piece into the metal line end and pull the filter away, and practice with the fitting that comes with the new filter. Another person said one side uses a hose clamp and the other needs a tool to depress the lock, but a screwdriver worked when the tool would not fit.
