anyone know where a how-to write up on replacing the fuel filter?

rbstang

yes. right here
1) jack back up
2) open hood and passenger side fuel rail unscrew the cap and depressurize the fuel
3) crawl under the gas tank
4) take ford a/c and fuel line disconnect tool and push it into the fuel line. you will here it like snap or hiss or something then pull apart the fuel line from the fuel filter
5) repeat for 2nd side
6) new filter snaps into the fuel lines
7) check for leaks
8) unjack car
9) enjoy the rest of the day

HMmmm,,,,, unless you don't mind crack/broken ribs or a maybe a punctured lung,,, ditch the tire jack,,, get a real jack and stands..just my 02 cents,,, but i saw a friend 10 years ago, get hurt doing exactly what you want to do,,, your choice though! GL

Dude?!

You won't get me under a car with a floor jack let alone a spare tire jack!!!!

Spend the $15 at Harbor Freight and get some cheap jack stands.

dont forget, rags. gas is nasty stuff. all i did was jack up my dirvers side rear. crawled under, and did it in like 5 minutes. sn95s use the clips though, which are soooo much easier than the damn quik disconnect things.
