I use those filter "sockets" that go on a ratchet to get the filters off of the gassers....works great.

I use filter pliers. Kinda like a big set of round mouth Channel Locks.

i already bought the filter relocation kit so i wont have that prob again
ive got a pair of the channel lock filter pliers and there was no room to get them in there

That is the absoulte worst set up I have ever seen. I had a 99 F-150 and getting to the filter was a total PITA. Everything is in the way

Before I got those sockets.....I'd wipe the filter off to get it nice and clean and use a latex glove to get better grip on it to do it by hand.



And yeah, you can't fit anything in there. The filter socket and 3/8" ratchet would barely fit.
