Changing Fuel Filter
Use flare wrenches 14mm and 19mm. A flare wrench looks like a open end wrench but goes 3/4 of the way around the nut not half way like a regular open end. It also looks like they took the closed end of a wrench and cut off a little at one end just enough to fit the wrench over the fuel line. Just disconnect the fuel pump fuse not the pump harness its much easier to pull the fuse then to pull your back seat and disconnect the harness. Good luck. Have a rag handy even if you do the fuel pump thing there is still alot of fuel in the filter that will spill. Easy job though.

look right underneath where you fill up your brake fluid.like, below the throttle body and a foot to the right, looking into your engine from the front.

I doubt you will, the lines are pretty strudy, you shouldn't have to worry about that. Give it a shot, you'll be surprised at how good you feel afterwards and plus the money you've saved on labour will help.

It's only under the master cylinder on l/h drive cars. On r/h drives the m/c is on the opp side, but the filter pos don't change.
