Should have some sort of a valve at the filter you can open for this purpose. I have a little petcock thing on mine. Personally, I just opened that valve and cranked it until fuel was coming out, then shut it. If it starts, that's okay, but I don't think it will. Don't crank it forever and...
I almost gave up replacing the hose, but eventually was able to get it done by reaching in from behind. I can't remember all the details now, but it is possible without tearing everything apart. It may depend how big a guy you are and how flexible. ;)
It's been a while, but I think it's just the stock mount plus a piece of flat plate aluminum. Mount the plate to the original bracket and the new filter mount to the plate.
Well, here's my new setup. Still haven't gotten it to start though, ran down the batteries filling up the filter since I don't have any diesel laying around. I don't foresee any problems outside of possibly chasing down a leak from the fittings.

Yup, my arm could fit in there as long as I laid almost completely prone across the engine bay to get my elbow far enough back. Still a PITA to tighten the new hose clamp with only one hand. Not sure how a big guy would accomplish this. Either way, job done. :beer:
Sometimes they come through. How about the 1/4" though?

Wix 24770 & Napa 4770 Base: FleetFilter Secure Online Store
and this for filter:
Wix 33005 & Napa 3005 Fuel Filter
Dual out makes for an easy way to make a bleeder. Seem okay?
Great thread! I wish everyone was converging on one solution so I'd know what to buy. I like the simplicity of the last two NAPA setups people posted, but the lack of bleeding capability bothers me. My box filter is having problems and the easy bleeding is what keeps me going. If I'm in a...
