Fuel filter change, just a few comments

Changed the fuel filter this weekend, 100,100 miles, first time. All went well. It only takes two different size bolts to undo the fittings on either side, and a torx (T27?) to undo the mounting strap. I used some penetrating spray on all three. The filter itself has a raised-hex point where the fuel lines go in, so you can brace a wrench against it (look at your replacement filter to get an idea), otherwise the mounting to the car body may break off if you rely on that for leverage.
Because the two fittings on either side are different sizes, you can't screw up the direction of flow. I didn't even have to jack up the car. I would recommend this as an easy DIY prevent. maint. project, overall it took about 20-30 minutes, and that's with some screwing around waiting for the penetrating spray.
Next project: replacing the door-ding moldings that have fallen apart.
