Try these

Its not a quick fix I'm afraid, but may help.  The first one I did had been on 4 years and was a dog.

Cheers

To far from me.

The correct tool is the key on this.

I changed one yesterday on a 2002 Corsa where you could smell fuel.....this car has a full service history yet the filter was original and had rotted through!

managed to replace it last Saturday with only 2 screwdrivers for tools, but was not easy i agree

so the correct tool is not, 2 screw drivers and a third hand with large helping of pita? :-)
