Dumb question No 1 - removing fuel filter?

[Foxtrot16]

Okay - now I admit I am not the most mechanically minded person out there but I went to remove the fuel filter to replace it and I couldn't get the friggin thing off - is there a special trick or something as I assumed it should just unscrew??

My Navara is a 2010/11 Thai built YD25 engine and takes the Z332 filter. There is a sensor type attachment at the bottom and I is as tight as anything as well

So any advice for a numpty??

Thanks - Krl

I use an oil filter removal tool when I need to get mine off. Then once its off I have a shifter big enough to unscrew the water sensor.
Make sure you unplug the wires before you unscrew the filter or they will get all twisted up.
