Fuel Filter Change?
Getting ready to do 25K maintenance and I see changing the fuel filter is on the list. Also see the Note that perhaps only a qualified Harley mechanic ought to do this service item. I have the Service Manual and it looks pretty straight forward. Who has done it? Any tips? I am not a mechanic and this may be beyond my capability. Anyone know the rated time its supposed to take at the Dealership? Will look here on the forum for a DIY.
Its a 2010 StreetGlide, bone stock.
thanks!

Here's a thread with some pic's. Been researching myself as I'm getting close to the 25K mark myself.

Had mine done by my indy mechanic. I stood right next to him to see how it was done. For him it was easy, but he struggled a bit getting all the pieces out and back in place. So, for those who have done it or have good mechanical skills, it is probable a "easy" job, but for me, there where too many things that could go wrong and it didn't look like it was something I would tackle alone. It all depends on your skill level and comfort zone. As far as changing the filter is concerned, nothing to it once everything is out of the tank, its just getting everything out and then back in the right place. What may be easy for one, can be hard for another.IMO

I replaced mine at 92,000 miles last summer, ( If my car gas filter can run that long, why can't my bike?) The old filter was still fine btw.
The only problem (on my older MM injection,) was the now brittle plastic nozzle of the
pump cracked when I tried to remove the old plastic hoses. That required a little 'McGivering.'
