I can remember asking how to get the damn clips off the fuel filter
and it took like a year to get an answer. The answer was just to just twist 'em off an toss 'em.
And I was asking in a thread where a guy had already done it. He just wouldn't reply.
So, the fuel filter didn't get replaced for like another year.
NOW, if you posted the same question, you'd likely an answer in minutes since so many people have done it now.
But then again, it might take a few days, weeks, or often, never.
Especially if you're the 1st to try to something.
OR if you have a 'tude.

The clips on the fuel filter are called Clic-R types,... basically without a special Clic-R pliers ($15-60) you can just use wire-nail cutter plier, end cutter plier, even a pruning shear should work. You just needs to pinch the base of the hook and catch together to lock it,... you will hear it click. To unlock it, do the same thing but you will need something like a small precision flathead screwdriver to jimmy the hook up, over and away from the catch.
More details here,... in the Fuel Filter DIY section with the size, quantity
, photos and Mercedes part# for these Clic-R clamps.

So, what the hell are we doing here? Ha....certainly I'm not going to increase my chances for procreation by hanging iin this forum, nor am I going to benefit financially, EXCEPT that yes, since I've helped a lot of people, I do generally get a good response which in turn does save me a buck or 2.
So it seems that hanging here, will ultimately result in my genetic code going the way of the dinosaurs, but 2002 Coupeys may live on.
My contribution to humanity?
