    First off, there are NO pictures regarding how to do this upgrade unfortunately but this info comes from a trusted friend that's been working in the auto industry for 33 years. He did this on an '02 Chevy Impala and his '05 Bonneville. I was gonna do this on my '97 GP but the line never seized or broke so I didn't bother.

    Secondly, this is considered an upgrade because some people end up breaking and/or twisting the line trying to get the fuel filter off and need to repair it. Sometimes the nut and line rots or seizes. It's also an upgrade due to the fact that this will make filter changes easier then ever.


    Last but not least, Credit and Thanks goes to TurboMike321 for supplying photos and a simple walk through.
