I've done a little research on swapping the IRS and noticed that once the IRS is in the fuel filter is a PITA to replace. Is it really that much of a pain? Has any tried relocating the filter? I'd like to relocate the filter in a safe place. Anywhere away from moving parts and flying objects such as rocks while driving and of course easier to access.

It's not THAT bad - certainly not an easy task to replace the fuel filter on an IRS 'stang, especially if you have big hands, but it's doable. Helps to have the proper fuel line disconnect tool.
