Hi, Does anyone know if there is a special tool required to change the fuel filter element on a 2007 2.3 jtd ducato, i thought it was just a matter of unscrewing the top & replacing the element but the top refuses to budge on both ducato's?

Hi all i have just renewed fuel filter on my 2007 2.3 ducato, I first removed two fuel pipes inlet & outlet removed two bolts from bulkhead disconnected electric plugs from top & bottom of filter housing, this left me with filter full of diesel which i emptied out into waste container, then lying filter housing on its side placed top black ring in vice and unscrewed filter body by hand, was very surprised how easy it turned,removed top of filter(green part) removed old element cleaned out housing fit new element, refitted in reverse order.I then replaced inlet pipe (top one) swtched on inition till fuel came out of outlet, replaced outlet pipe.(then took instructions from free spirit) tuned on ignition & listened to pump when it stopped making noises started engine checked for leaks and away we went. hope this helps.
