I have found that although a socket works for the oil filter, on the fuel filter, because the applied force is above the filter, the socket tips slightly and will round off the hex. I now use a straight ring spanner so the force is applied on the line of the nut. Yes, tight but turns without problem, I carefully grease tecO-ring on assembly and now have no problem.

Alan,
Push the white part in and pull the black part to the side to remove. The grey part was brittle on mine and disintegrated. Hence the rip ties just changed the filter last weekend Have a look at original photo and they can clearly seen
I think its a T30 or T35 torx bit for the 4 bolts securing cover on paper filter.

Re: C5 2.0HDi 160 Fuel Filter change?
Just changed mine on the same engine...
I had to specially order a Laser T35 3/8" Drive bit to get those Torx nuts off.
I couldn't get the right side filtered hose clip off but still could pull it up far enough and replace the filter and rubber O-ring.
Old filter was black as a black thing,
