It's not "complicated" but it can be a bitch to get to unless you have
exactly the right tools. For recent models, you need to hold the filter
with one wrench and use a line wrench to get the flare joint off the bottom
of the filter... the flare joint joint "nut" can be very tough to loosen if
there is any sign of corrosion and there is not much room for rotating the
wrench - definitely a good chance of skinned knuckles. It'd probably be a
good idea to remove the rubber air intake tube to make more room.

The banjo union on top can also be stubborn to loosen but at least it's
more accessible. Good luck with it.
