Fuel filter 95 Mark VIII

Any special tools required to replace the fuel filter? To disconnect the lines?

Nope, no special tools needed... its just removal of two plastic locking clips

You'll need a disconnect tool to release the one side of the filter.

yes. that is correct. you can get the tool for like 6 bucks are your local auto parts store. its the same one for removing the fuel lines from the fuel rail. i didn't know this when i went to do this job. i ended up sitting for like an hour with a small flat head screw driver trying to push all the little pins in to get it out. some how by the grace of pure luck i managed to get it. now i own the proper tools

Shouldn't be the same with both gens?...I don't remember when I changed it on my 93 but my 98 didn't need any special tools

gen 1 and gen 2 fuel filters connect differently, gen 1 requiring a special tool for removal

Yep, youll need a 3/8" fuel line disconnect tool. FYI, Orielly auto parts has our Motorcraft fuel filters for sale for like $12 bucks as opposed to $16-$19 AT THE DEALER.
