I was in the middle of doing the blue spring upgrade when I accidentally damaged the fuel filter housing. While trying to remove the fuel fitting, I ripped a Torx bolt out of the housing. I have already ordered a replacement, but I am looking for advice on what to expect and any tips or tricks for the installation.

Is this a pre-certified secondhand car straight out of the dealership? They ought to fix it if it is still under warranty. You can take it to another Hyundai store to get it fixed because they are treating you badly. My AC stopped working after I purchased a used pre-certification automobile from the dealership. I took the vehicle back to them, and they replaced it under warranty, free of charge.

Yes, it is a pre-certified used car. Thanks for the info.

What year, what make, and what model? For the blue spring mod, a 6.0 or 7.3 is assumed. Don’t overtighten the bolts if it’s the 6.0 since they are fastened into softer metal. My new housing was threadless. The bolt was what created them. Therefore, install your blue spring mod before inserting the housing.

That seems quite reasonable to me.
Just ensure you’re giving yourself some breathing room. Often, aluminum aftermarket kits don’t include the oil pressure sensor, and removing it from the old unit and installing it in the new one can be tricky without causing damage. It’s a good idea to have a replacement sensor ready just in case.
The design can be problematic, even some aftermarket kits may leak right out of the box.

Keep in mind that the kits Chrysler currently ships include two different O-rings for one of the ports, depending on the car’s year. Aftermarket kits might only include one type, which might not be the right one for your vehicle. This is one reason why we prefer OEM parts, ensuring we get the latest and most accurate designs.
