    Fuel water separator question

    Getting ready to do a fuel system filter change "first-time new owner" and had just a quick question does the knurled connector on the bottom of the fuel water separator turn to drain the fuel ? I only ask because it's very tight and I don't want to break it off accidentally. I looked in TMs and...

    Hydraulic Manifold Valve Knob

    Thanks but there is still nothing on taking the selector valve off to replace the small oring, on the inside of the valve ( suspected culprit ). Looks like there is a pin under the selector valve that holds the valve together

    Hydraulic Manifold Valve Knob

    I did some searching but cannot find how to get the selector knob off of one of my Valves, it seems it has a slow drip and from what I've seen I need to get the knob off to get at a small o-ring in the valve assembly.

    LMTV M1078 Transmission Fluid Change To ATF Write Up
