    Finally got around to replacing the fuel filter. Happy to report that the Irwin 7-inch locking wrench took the stripped flare nut off lickety-split! I suspect that are just a bit better at not tearing up the nut further than regular vise grips, but ?????

    I guess it had been replaced at some point because the old one had "Made in China" proudly displayed on it. Need one was Denso....

    It’s always the aftermarket ones that are clogged…
