bah, out of ideas. help please?
so, i have a 99.5 2.8qm avant, and i was trying to get the fuel filter out so i can replace it, spent the better part of a day working on it, i ground down a bit to try to fit it into what space there is for tools to fit to loosen the clamp, and still can't get it out. i used this guide to try to get it out, but still didn't get enough room to reach the bolt on the clamp. will i have to remove the whole gas tank or is there a much easier way that i am not seeing?

I used a T-40 torx and I know others have used the same...
But if the Nut on the opposite side breaks free in the plastic housing (which happened to me) you need to try and get channel locks or vice grips on the nut, which is a PITA!!!
I ended up only partially loosening the clamp. Removed the filter (with some work) and worked the new one back in.
DON'T FORGET THE CRUSH WASHERS!!!!
