You can see the fuel filter here http://tinyurl.com/yv45j The banjo union
on the top is relatively easy with the right size wrenches. It gets tricky
to get the bottom flare nut off though and since it's part of the fuel pipe
assembly you dont want to mangle it. If you take the rubber air intake
hose off you can probably use a line wrench on it; if not you need a
crows-foot "socket" on a long extension from under the car... and of course
you have to hold the fuel filter with another wrench at the same time.
