I got the filter like 5 months ago. I thought it was gonna turn out like a lot of projects Iv done, running into little problems and taking significantly longer than expected. To my surprise, it was the opposite. Took like 30 minutes and was really easy! This is probably because I have very very little rust underneath (all of which was gained in the past winter driving it here in wisconsin). And I put some penetrating oil on the fuel line fittings ahead of time. Some pretty dark stuff came out of the filter when I got it off, which tells me that it needed to be changed, and was a worth while investment. For anyone else wanting to do this, its super easy. Heres the write up (if you even need it)
