Just replaced the filter today.
After removing the under body panels (Jess refers to them as alien muff) I undid the bolt securing the filter to the frame. Clamped the outlet hose and put the filter nipple from the new one onto the old one to keep it from leaking everywhere. Pulled off the other end of the filter and plugged the end it with my finger. Quickly put the other filter in its place and started securing everything. Lost 10 or so drops of fuel.
Cranked the car for 2-3 seconds and shut it down and waited a minute. Repeated. And it started on the third attempt. At most it cranked for 7-8 seconds before purring like a kitten.
Total time about 2.5 hours - oil change at the same time and I was not in a rush since it's my first time with this fuel filter.
