It is pretty easy to do. You will lose quite a bit of fuel when you unhook the lines off the filter but this is to be expected. I believe the owners manual or repair manual has the procedure for relieving the fuel pressure prior to pulling off the lines. I neglected to do that and just made sure my head wasn't anywhere near the lines when I pulled them off.
