Oil & Fuel How to change BX1800 fuel filter (underside)

[gboehne]

Does anyone have any tips on how to loosen the bolt that holds the
fuel filter bracket snugly in place - the filter that is on the underside of the tractor?
The bolt is threaded from the top and access to it is extremely limited. The lever that the bracket is mounted to also looks problematic to remove. I forgot to ask the dealer, which is what I will do if nobody can give me a tip.

I used a wrench open on one end with an internal ratchet on the other. It was thin enough to slide over the bolt and the ratchet had it off in no time.

They are a pain to get to the first time, when I put mine back on, I flipped the loop over and put the bolt in from the bottom. Then I got a batch of bad fuel and after changing the filter a couple of more times I just started using a wire tie to hold it up.
