8mm Wrench and Ratchet
10mm Wrench and Ratchet
Pull Fuel Pump Fuse or Relay
Turn car over and run until it dies. (10 seconds or so)
Jack back of car UP and support with Jack stands
In front of tank towards the center - loosen ALL BOLTS before taking ANY OUT
Remove bolts and let the fuel filter sag.
Pinch the WHITE plastic retainer clips and pull filter off one side at a time (detach side with arrow - flow direction LAST)
Careful to protect your eyes, there will be gasoline
Put in new filter and repeat procedure in reverse order. (Skipping step 2)
Prime the fuel pump for 3 seconds TWICE before trying to start engine.

Pinching the WHITE plastic retainer clips is the key to simplifying removal of this filter. I read a lot about people pulling them from the hose connector body and screwing them up and needing to replace them before I learned they are meant only to be pinched. Makes the filter removal as easy as possible other than getting to it.
