I am trying to replace my fuel filters on my 1985 390EC with Crusaders 350 (454) gas engines. The fuel filters are mounted up high on the side of the engine compartment and I was told the housing unscrews and then you replace the element on the inside. I purchased the replacement elements so I am ready to do the job, but I cannot get the housings to unscrew. I have tried 3 different filter type wrenches but these things are really stuck, if they do unscrew. I can remove the bolt from the bottom and drain them, but no luck on getting them replaced. I am assuming that there is some secret handshake or dance that I must be missing to get these things off. Any suggestions?
