<e36> RE: Fuel Filter location

[Mike Schaublin <mschaublin@xxxxxxxxx>]

     Mike,
     
     I tried to replace the fuel filter on my 94 325i this weekend, and 
     I gave up.  Near as I can tell, I need hands the size of a 6 year 
     old and forearms about 4 feet long to get to the clamps.  Please 
     share any insights on how to get to the upper hose clamp (e.g. what 
     tools, what did you have to remove to get to it, were you able to 
     sufficiently tighten it?)
     
     (BTW, I have the short large diameter filter, not the long skinny 
     one of some models.)
     
     TIA for your help,
     
     Mike Schaublin
     94 325i
