Just eye-balling it it doesn't look too bad, just working in a tight space.

Okay, I need to look back in there. I never did this before because after getting all fired up to replace it I tried to reach in there and see if I could do it.
Seriously, how small do your hands need to be to get this done?
The space is rediculous!!
I can bleed my clutch so I'm not shy about bending my arms and hands into absurdly small and twisted Pcar places but the fuel filter looked crazy narrow.

I'm doing mine now, with the engine out for water line welding, it is so much easier to access

If you still plan on doing this yourself and need help send me a PM. As I said earlier I did mine but you have to be patient and careful. Again look at the new filter assembly first so you understand what gets undone.
