I Googled, I searched these forums, I even bought a Chilton's :-) - This is my first post. I've been a marauder owner for a week now!
The clips on my fuel filter are unlike what I've read about anywhere. The piece that goes onto the filter ends is hard plastic. The clip is a not-as-hard plastic "C". I can see the ends of the C through 2 small holes. The outer part of the C is in a recess so I couldn't get a screwdriver under it. I push up on of the C-ends and it went up easily. And broke. I couldn't get the other half pushed up so I stopped right there. If I were to get it out, is the broken clip OK to put back in? The replacement filter(Motorcraft FG986B) doesn't have clips so I suppose I'd have to go to a dealer.
I attached a picture of the clip (2/3s of it anyways). Any advice?(always a loaded question :-)
