It's really easy to do.

For step 2 (in the pic), Just undo the 12mm Banjo bolt (make sure you put a shop rag on top of the filter to catch the gas that will flow out) to relieve the fuel pressure.

Takes only about 10-15 minutes.

Read my post above:

Good luck!

Yeah, I had done one before, so it went pretty fast. I change it about every 25K-30K miles (almost time for another one)!
