auto or manual.
on a manual all you have to do is crawl under the car in front of the left rear tire and look up. one bolt holding it on, pinch connectors in the rear. you need a disconnect tool for the front. lots of gas comes out so be careful. push very hard on the front hardline. i didnt get mine on the first time and sprayed fuel everywhere. push until you hear a click. Took me about 15 minutes to change and then another 5 to readjust. supposedly on the autos you need to move an exhaust pipe to gain access.

 

Gentlemen, I am told that there is only an in tank fuel filter on the 03 C5Z?! Anyone tracking on this? This was told to me by the dealer, I have yet to get under there and look specifically for the fuel filter, I will be changing it when I get back from deployment. I know dealers should be left in the dark but I was in there getting warranty replacement done...now that the warranty is up I will finally get to do all the work and know for sure what has been done. Thanks Gentlemen

Thanks, there was a photo that didn't show up was that important to see? The network that I am using does not allow the viewing of photo hosting sites.

I guess the info that I was given at the dealer was true about the intank filter. It is replaceable though correct? Just going to be a mess changing it.
