How do you replace the metal retainer that slips onto one end of the fuel filter? The inside of the retaining sleeve is cracked but not leaking. It is a metal sleeve with a 90 degree bend which is attached to a rubber fueil line which goes upto fhe fuel pump assy in the fuel tank. Is there any way I can replace the metal sleeve without replacing the entire fuel pump assy. The other side of the fuel filter has a simple threaded fitting. I do not want to spend $700 for the fuel pump assy just to replace a $20 fuel filter. I have been told that because the system is pressurized you cannot replace sleeve by itself. The sleeve is press fittted to the rubber fuel line and is a one piece assembly. What can I do they would allow me to replace the filter and the slip on retainer?
