Ive been doing it this way for years. Assuming there is a short piece of rubber hose on eash side of the filter. ( There should Be )

I'm not sure if that would work? I can't get the filter out because the system needs to be depressurized. Pinching the lines wouldn't depressurize it, would it? Plus, I don't remember seeing any rubber lines near the fuel filter. I believe the lines going to the filter are somewhat of a hard line, almost like a braided steal line, but I can't imagine Ford having braided fuel lines on stock Broncos?? The connectors at the fuel filter are similar to most late model Ford fuel rail connectors, just a little smaller. They require a special tool, which I have, & know how to use. There is just too much pressure in the system to get those connectors to budge. Any other thoughts? Anyone?
