Mounting clips pose a problem
Fuel filters are always kinda dicey because of the danger of the fuel. The first time I didn't have the tool to remove the mounting clips, got down there and just had to cut the mounting clips off and replace with a short 3/8 inch size rubber hose and some clamps. It worked out ok, but it was a pain. Of course keep the smokers away, because the fuel will spill a bit. Good luck!

Guess it all depends on the year or your Ranger.
Some need the "A/C - Fuel Line tool" and others don't. My Ranger didn't need the tool, realizing this as the kit of 6 adapters didn't work, leaving me eating a few bucks. Ah well, they look good hanging on the wall in the garage. LOL
Back to the post.....my fuel filter was a snap to remove. The line from the filter to the engine just slid off the nipple, and the supply and return lines (marked with a green and orange plastic ring) just slid off when I used my thumb to push the colour taps in.
All in all, whether it's the tool or non-tool filter, it's a very quick do-it-yourself job.

its not worth 50$
some you done even need a tool for, u can use a flat head. but if you dont no how the clip works you can also break them very easily. i bought a master kit for all filters when i started at the dealer, it was a good investment, but i use them all the time you prob wont.
u also need a trans flush at 30k if its an auto. suprised they didnt try n sell u that to.
