Something that you might want to consider is to install the fuel filter into the HCFM before you install the HCFM into the frame.

That Milwaukee ratchet reminds me of Diesel Tech Ron's videos. A good man that passed too soon. Thanks for the vid I need to do this myself, looked at it and wanted to see if there was anything that I missed up front. When I change the fuel filter at the fuel pump I use Kitty litter pans or the black plastic pan that you get at Home Depot to mix concrete in. They are cheap enough and wide enough to catch the diesel as it comes out at different locations.

Good morning, just as an FYI, you don't need to align the bleed hole at the top of the HFCM when installing the filter. If you look inside the housing you will see a stop where the filter catches as you insert it and screw it in. The filter will self align in the proper orientation as you screw in the filter housing. The proper way to install the filter is to put it into the cap and then just screw it in. Thanks for the video!

I appreciate the info. While the OEM filters are supossed to self align, I have seen them fail to do so, and cause a crank no start, and some of the aftermarket filters do not have provisions to self align. I mentioned it more as a "cover your butt" scenario.

Something to consider. The fuel pump can be accessed without removing the HFCM from the frame. In my case there is fuel outside of the HFCM so I am going to remove and replace the HFCM then look for where the fuel is coming from although I should spray down everything with brake cleaner, let it dry, then try to see where the leak is incase it is a bad fitting leaking air. If your HFCM is dry on the outside you might think about pulling the fuel pump motor out before you remove the HFCM. If it is clean inside the motor housing the fuel pump can be replaced for a fraction of the cost of a new HFCM housing with the fuel pump inside. Of course if you find a collection of parts or lots of corrosion inside the more prudent course of action would be to replace the HFCM then clean and repair your old one for a spare. It depends on if you have time to look and order parts or you need it to run right now. Water in the fuel could freeze and break the housing causing problems. If you live in Alaska that could be a potential problem, if you live in Southern California I feel sorry for you but you most likely don't have to worry about freezing much.

great video thanks! Im about to head out into the driveway and do this myself. Just curious why you didnt put the filter in before you installed the HCFM?

Hey, I've got an '03 F250 6.0 Lariat that did the same thing to me couple days ago. I looked at the HFCM and there is a connector hanging loose. Any way I could shoot you a pic?

I'm having a problem getting those 2 plastic type fuel line connectors off on the fuel filter side. I couldn't see on your video what you meant by pushing in and spinning it. And also How much fuel comes out of the drain hole? It seems like never ending.

Top filter housing has a drain plug its pain to get to behind intercooler pipe. It should be drained before installing new filter
