[C320-list] SECONDARY FUEL FILTER REMOVAL

[Jim Sweet]

Actually, they do.  I watched it get changed prior to trying it myself and 
that's exactly how the mechanic did it.  He put a screwdriver on the nut and 
tapped it toward the aft of the boat.  He also removed the nut to starboard 
(when facing the engine) on the top of the filter cover and used a shop vac 
to suck the diesel to the filter alleviating that nasty pumping of the fuel 
for hours to get the air out of the lines.  Pretty slick.  Tried myself and 
it worked like a charm.

Does anyone know of a tool for removing the ring nut holding the secondary 
filter can onto the engine? It has been suggested that I use a srewdriver 
placed in one of the slots and give it a shot with a hammer. I'm sure the 
pros don't do it that way!
