Default Fuel filter problem
I am trying to change the filter and was having trouble. So I sprayed it with PB and let it soak and hour. Well you guessed it, I stripped the nut and the filter is still attached.
Anybody know of a way to get the nut off without buying a new fuel line?

TIA

This is exactly why I am getting a set of plumber's wrenches before the next FF change. The last one was an exercise, especially once I realized that I used the wrong end of the combination wrench.
