Just replaced my fuel filter -- pic above of the old and new. This is looking from the rear of the car toward the front, but on the right (US=passenger's) side.

This was _not_ a job for a novice. Very dangerous due to a couple of cups of gas coming out of the old filter and fuel lines.

Today was probably the last warm day here for six or so months, so I did this so that I could have lots of ventilation (exhaust fans) going during the job, and for hours afterward.

Jacked using my floor jack under the rear differential and then put jack stands under the rear rocker lift points. Wheel chocks installed on both front wheels after. Didn't need to remove any tires.

About 1.5 hours total, but more difficult than expected. First, the plastic shield, shown on the garage floor above, wouldn't drop easily because a press-in connector, from below, wouldn't release. Didn't want to break it, so I removed the 10mm bolt holding its black metal bracket to the body. There's also three 10mm nuts holding the shield on, and one is 9 inches straight up at the top of the left-rear support bracket of the shield.

Then the two largest fuel lines didn't want to come off the old filter -- it was a battle, with gas dripping out (catch pan was below, but ...).

Besides the filter, you (too) will need four small worm clamps to replace the factory crimped rings. The old ones released by squeezing the sides of their heads with a set of pliers.

Again, very dangerous. "Don't try this at home".
