My son got me the primary fuel filter setup Westfolk puts out as a Christmas gift. He was going to get me a 1 inch gear wrench to deal with my stock filter system, but I'm glad he went this route!
When I brought my deuce home from GL I changed all the fuel filters. Ever since then the primary has come loose multiple times. You can tell when it's happening because the truck takes more than a couple cranks to start up. In the 7 months I've had her home we have tightened the filter 3 times.
So after the family had gone home and off to play with their new Christmas gifts, my son and I went out to swap in the new spin on. We took about 25 minutes total - 15 minutes involved getting tools and putting them away. It can be done a lot faster than we did it, but we worked by flashlight.
To install you just drain the old filter canister and remove. Take off the two fuel lines with a 3/4 inch wrench and unbolt the housing from the frame with a 9/16th. Toss that crap. Take the new filter mount and conect the lines hand tight. Bolt it to the frame with your old bolts and nuts. Tighten the fuel lines down completely. Westfolk has installed all the brass fittings in the proper place and used thread tape. I filled the new NAPA filter with fuel, but you probably don't need to.
Started right away with no leaks. Much more room around the alternator.
I highly recommend.
