Is it really that hard to change your fuel filter??? My mechanic said you have to like almost remove the engine to get to it cause its buried in there. I really wanna do this myself to save the 90 dollars in labor costs... Where exactly is the fuel filter, and is it easy to get to?

open the gas cap, pull the efi fuse, and crank the motor over a few times to get rid of the extra fuel in the lines. have a few rags handy for the fuel that will leak out.
