Fuel filter help

I was just doing my fuel filter change, and during the re install process the top of my filer housing cracked. I was having an issue with it going in applying pressure to the top to push the gasket down inside the tank it just wouldn’t go down for some reason. It looked soo easy in videos lol. Anyway, does anyone know if we can order a replacement top!? Or order a whole new housing? This car is a nightmare, everything you touch breaks ugh. I’ve been replacing almost everything that’s plastic.

Search or Check AllMag's website - They're located in Tampa - (813) 353-3000.
Their good used parts are not always cheap but (IME), they don't sell junk either. Fast shipping too. Unless your up for the drive.
Good luck.

I may just have to order the whole assembly and just use the top off this, if I can’t find one in the local junk yard.

Soo I scored and got my part plus more they had 6 r53’s! In the yard. The top to the fuel filter, couple fender trim pieces pass mirror and plastic radiator mount. Could’ve takin more but it’s 95 degrees out and I was getting hangry.
