[MBZ] In Tank Fuel Filter

[Dan & Sandy Steadman]

I have a partially clogged in-tank fuel filter in my 1980 300D. I have 
drained the tank (yes, I made a mess and it took a long time to drain a 
gallon and a half). I need to know the best way to get the filter out. I 
don't have a wrench or socket that will fit the filter.

Any tricks or suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan Steadman
