unless mine is different then yours i unscrew a m6 nut and bolt with a
10mm 1/4 drive socket and wrench, then once i can move it i clamp the
hose's so i don't lose to much gas,  then unscrew the clamp that holds
the filter, then the hose clamps.. i am pretty sure it takes 8 to 10
mins ;) hehe... sure is easier on the 2wd tho, at least when there is
no big heater cover...
I do have a lot of good luck  often when i work on vans... but don't
worrry i have hard times and knuckle bashing days as well...
i actually like that you take the time to write up about your works...
i can't write well or find the time ... i wish i could tho..
