I am trying to install a new fuel filter, due to the ethonol in the gas down here in mass. I looked throught the manual but can not find anything on it. Anyone know where this is located??

thanks

Above rear axle next to the right rear wheel.

take the wheel off and get under (axle stands too of course ;)) - you cant miss it! Big silver cylinder (prob a bit dirty by now though). I'm doing mine tonight for the first time.

Just incase you dont know - i've been told clamping the two hoses that are attached to the filter can seriously reduce how wet you get when you undo them! Oh and if you use pliers to pinch the hoses put tape over the ends to make sure you dont brake the hoses - this could be a pain in the a*se! :D

Good luck i'll let you know how mine goes... :p
