Fuel filter bracket removal

[Poopdog]

I know there are threads about it but nothing seems to make sense, how do I get at the nuts on the back of the bracket off, do I have to remove the seats?

Remove the rear parcel shelf. Then the nuts are down the back of the rear seat on the passenger side. You'll need a friend!

Ahh thanks, I was wondering how I was going to get my hand down the back there, now I'd better find a friend!!!

It's possible to remove it without a helper if you clamp a vice grip on the nut and wedge it in position

Is access possible with just the helmet holder removed?

[An Marcach]

It's been a few years since I did this on mine but I think so, I don't remember ever having the back seat out

Removed helmet holder and chucked my 9 year old in there with a spanner- job done cheers
