    you have to unbolt one part from the bottom, and seein you're doing this from under the car guess where all the fuel goes. on you. not ot mention the fact you have to take the wheel off just to get to it..

    damn that sucks. luckily mine is located in a high position in the front of my car so drippage is minimal, of corse it's located right next to the battery so if certain precautions aren't taken.... it could be a bad day.

    of corse it really blows when that gas gets on your skin and starts eating away at it. unless your into that sourta thing.

    ^^^ yeah man. bout the same place. mines on the side of the wheel well. it was just stupid. you have to stick your hand and a wrench through the CV axel deal hole. and then you can only turn the bolt on the bottom 1/4 of a turn at a time, and its long bolt. lol and then after you un hook everything. its mounted with 3 other bolts. all of which are in very difficult places to reach.

    i had to undo my entire intake system just to be able to decnty get to it.
