was yours ever replaced before? mine was stuck on there badly, and wasnt exactly a metric size. it started to strip with open end wrenches, so i had to resort to vice grips and maneuvering them inbetween the mess of brake and clutch lines.
did you have flare/line wrenches?

My 2cents too, I found it rather easy too. If anyone in IL wants their fuel filter changed I'll charge ya $5 on a bad day. Free for ya on a good day, just don't take advantage of my kind heart. Shout out to screwdriver, 2 fuel filter and oil changes on me for free since I charged you a little expensive on the IM swap.......

^^they must have done it a couple times before and stolen the filters. really though I don't see how it could be done in less than an hour.
I took fuel filter with me (OEM) and watched how they replaced it. They are Deawoo mechanics and they service my Hyundai.
How TiburonsRule said, the faster and the easiest way to change fuel filter is from the top.

1. Reduce the internal pressure of the fuel pipes and hoses by completing the following operations.
2. Remove the bolt connecting the fuel line with the fuel filter.
3. Remove the fuel filter mounting bolt, then remove the fuel filter from the fuel filter clamp.
4. After replacing the fuel filter, check for fuel leaks.

When you guys get the filter off, you should try replacing it with something better/nicer:
My Aeromotive 12308 canister:

Or get a good inline style from Aeromotive like these:

Then you can just unscrew them and replace the cheap filter element that's inside:

Jon, I'd liike to do that, how do you do it? I mean, can you hook up the OEM fuel hoses to it? If not, here's my plan.
1. Get that fuel filter you got.
2. Get that fuel rail adapter from APE.
3. Put braided line between them.
But how would I hook up the other hose?
