If your filter has the white plastic clips at each end of the filter it should be easy. Remove each clip by prying it out with a screwdriver. I usually wrap a shop towel around the fitting because the fuel system can hold up to 40 psi on that side of the system. To reinstall put the clips back in their little holes. You should be able to then just push the lines on the filter, when it clicks, your done. If it doesn"t seem to what to go in, make sure the filter is pointing the right direction, sometimes the tubing ends on the filters are different. Another thought, make sure the filter has the same length ends as the one you took off, ford has had two different filters, tube length is the only difference. If it still won"t go in, look in the end of the line to make sure the oring seal and the plastic washers that hold it in place haven"t moved. Beyond that, that"s all I can think of, unless of course you just spray a little WD-40 on the filter ends to help slide in place. I"ve changed hundreds of these filters on every model Ford makes. Those are the problems I"ve seen. Hope it helps. Chris.
