We bought a 1998 xk8 for a weekend driver, While checking out the car I found grease zerts on the half shafts but none on the driveshafts, are there any more hidden grease zerts I don`t know about, I have change the oil and want to change the fuel filter, how and where do I bleed the pressure off from the fuel system, I asume it is under pressure at all times and don`t want to get sprayed with fuel. also do I remove the nut in the center of the fuel filter bracket or remove the bracket completely from the floorboard.

 

Rev, I actually changed my fuel filter w/o doing anything special...except keeping the key out of the ignition. If you unbolt it slowly, you can contain the spilled fuel easily...and bleed the remaining pressure, I think maybe 4-6 ounces came out upon disconnection.

 

I also only found a total of 4 Grease Fittings at the rear, 2 on each half-shaft. Would also be interested to find out if there are any others hiding some where...

 

H20boy,
Thanks, went right out there and swapped it out with no leaks,

 

I'm confused.

 

wait for it.... -->

 

I love how Sam responds to his own posts.
