Any tips on doing this? I've got the filter, I've got the tool for the fuel line. I jacked the car up and got underneath to start the apparently quick and simple change of the fuel filter. The pics I had found on the web were nothing like what I was looking at. They showed the fuel filter unblocked, in plain view, easy to see and reach. Mine was was not. Mine is blocked off by various supports and beams and crap and my hands/arms aren't going to fit through the gaps to get to the filter. I'm guessing this is probably some pain in the ass difference caused by the IRS as compared to a solid axle.

Only real tip I can give, If you have to remove suspension components back there, be sure to mark them so that you won't mess up your alignment. It still might not be a bad idea to take it for a four wheel alignment afterward. Otherwise good luck, and I hope you don't have to remove anything.
