Giving a guide how to change it is one thing but doing it is another.
The biggest problem is access for the fuel filter. I can change one in I reckon a minute but will be a bastard to change if you have never done it or you are no good with mechanics.
Best advice I can give is wedge a spanner on the fuel filter and have it rest on the firewall. So when you undo the upper/bottom hose it stops the fuel filter from moving.

Re: How to change fuel filter
Key is to leave it hard bolted to the firewall while undoing the hoses, then it doesn't move period

Re: How to change fuel filter
I found the hard part was undoing the bottom hose
I tried for hours to crack that barstard at home, lying under the car and trying from up above too.
Ended up taking the FTO to work and putting on the hoist to get better access, and it was still a real prick to crack.
Must have never been changed before
