Need a Spot

I'm in need of a fuel filter replacement on my 89 4runner and once i finally located it, it looks like it will be a 'fun' job. Located under the intake, bolted to the block.
Any recommendations for the best method of changing it? Is it best to swap it from underneath or do i need to remove the intake to get to it?

Much, much easier to do this with the manifold removed. I can be done with the manifold in place, but you need to know where all the bolts are ahead of time. You will also need some double-jointed wrists and stubby wrenches ;-)
A related question: does anyone know the part number for the filter off hand? I need to replace one and would like to order the replacement online, but can't find the part number.
Thanks,
Jeff

From the side of my ORIGINAL fuel filter off an '87:
23300-35030(Toyota)
or
186100-1101(Denso)

Sounds like it's in the same place as mine on my 88' yota pu. I just took the wheel and starter out, only took a few minutes and the fuel filter was easy to get to, is taking the manifold off easier?!

FYI it is a "fun" job but when i put mine back on i just bolted it to the inner fender well where it will be SO much easier to access the next time

I just took the wheel and starter out, only took a few minutes and the fuel filter was easy to get to, is taking the manifold off easier?! *Sure its easier...providing the engine is out of the compartment and on a stand. LOL Biggest time saver on major work with these motors is to lift the head off with lower manifold still attached. I do what you do, through the passenger wheel well, but leave starter in place. I can generally get away with having two band-aids nearby which is a plus for me. ~Darin <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />

Im wondering if this fall's into the "ghetto rig'd" way of doing things, oh well. If it makes life easier.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />

nacho---agree with the others on going thru the fender.......Remove the rubber curtain inside the fender and then remove the 4 little screws that hold the "access" cover on. Then you should have decent access to the filter. Then use 2 band-aids!

I found it helpful to do mine when I changed the oil that way the oil filter was out of the way. I also jacked up and took the rt pass tire off. Made things quite simple.
