The fuel filter replacement is "easy" but i wouldn't say VERY easy. I could never quite find the right sized open-end wrench for the fuel-line side, so it was to the crescent wrench for me..
Just remember before you swap the filter, pull the fuel pump fuse and run the engine 'til it dies. Even then you'll get maybe a half cup of fuel out the lines, so keep rags and buckets nearby.
ferb!
