Is there an easy way? Ive got the top off, but cant seem to budge the lower nut. Ive tried to look for another connection underneath, but there is so much steering crap in the way.

No easy way to do it. Swearing at it a LOT has helped me in the past though!

How much time do you spend in a parking lot with your performance car? If you do a lot of parking lot driving, and hang out in parking lots, chances are you are a ricer, go home and read import tuner. If you’re complaining about noise you should not be modifying your car. You should also consider no longer being a man, please hand in your genitals at the door.

if you snap it flare the end and cut a piece of a tr/ts magna fuel pipe that screws into the filter. (cheap as shit from a wrecker ) which has the same fuel filter fitting and connect it with some fuel line.

Im using a 14mm spanner, but its so tight, its starting to round off the nut. If i snap it off its gonna be too tight in that area to try and flare it.
I could always try and heat it up.

Go and buy a flare spanner. DO NOT use a normal spanner for that job.

As above... do not use a normal spanner !! Use a proper 14mm flare nut spanner . Make sure the filter is still secured firmly in the bracket. A good tip is to not lean on the spanner to undo the flare nut, but to " impact ' crack the nut. They are always mega tight ... good luck with a bit of patience !

Use 2 spanners together. One for the pipe and one for the filter. Try to set it up so you can squeeze the spanners together. As above, flare spanner

I used normal spanners and I didnt have any issues.
