Hmm. I'd just get the 0rings needed, and the filters, and fill the big one with fuel, then craank the car. it may stumble for a sec, but it'll start.

ok so theres only 1 o-ring for the filter. why was that so hard? that was cake. i didnt even spill a drop when spinning on the new filter. it took about 10 trys to start the car though. i'll take pictures next time so a sticky can be made and easily found.

Correct on the small O-Ring....the small O-Ring replaces the small O-Ring on the itty-bitty plastic filter.

I don't "spin-on" the main filter......I hold it in place (since it is da#n near full of Power Service) as I bring the banjo bolt down by screwing it into the main filter, then tighten it quite snuggly.

Glad to read you're tackling the job speedjay!
