LOL, BITHING... Make that bitching 
Changed the fuel filter today... What a pain it was. I ended up removing the bracket the holds the fuel filter completely. After that, the lines lined up SO easily and perfectly... The fuel line bolts/fitings went easily in by hand, like they are supposed to. With it in place, the lines were impossible to line up (both, lining up one was not a problem), and I thought I screwd up the threads of the front fuel line bolt.
What a stupid design the bracket is. W/ it in place, the lip of the filter hits the bracket, leaving no room whatsoever for left/right movement, even w/ the bottom of the bracket bent for extra room. I could not move the rear line off the brackets either, just the front...
Anyway, the filter bracket is off for good, makes it so much easier... it takes maybe 2 min. now to change the fuel filter.
