How to replace the fuel filter on a Corolla? Remove the seats and the metal cover underneath. Unscrew the securing screws of the metal cap (if present) with a socket spanner, remove it from its seat, and cover the perimeter with absorbent paper to catch any fluid leaks.

Disconnect the power connectors and the fuel circulation hoses. Remove the fuel pump from its seat.

Take out the fuel filter from inside the plastics. Fit the new filter, then immerse the kit into the tank and screw in the screws.

Reconnect all the electrical connectors. Refit the seats.
