Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have 05 chevy cobalt,  I'm replacing the fuel filter
& I got too where I am on the last line. & I totally
forgot that there is a tool made to take it off. The
problem is I don't have the tool. What can I use to
take it off without the tool? Or is there a way.

You can actually use a cap to a sharpie marker by modifying it a little bit. There is videos about the modification on you tube. Hope this helps

I used a little piece of sheet metal i had laying around and just cut it how the tool is intact likes it better.... it was crood but worked great. Sorry no pic
