Changing Fuel Filter on 88 4runner

Hi, I need to change my fuel filter on my MFI 6cylinder 3.0 3vz-e engine but don't know how. Is this something I can do myself or is it better left to a pro. I am willing to learn and have bought the Chilton manual. My only other project, I have done, is changing out my radiator. Maybe that will help you determine my ability level (or lack of :grinno: ). Any helpful hints? Thanks
P.S Lets all pray for the victims of the Tsunami. Send aid if possible.

You can do it. Let penetrating oil sit on the fittings for a long time before you try and loosen them. Must use a tubing wrench (goes most of the way around the fitting and grips it better), not an open-end wrench to loosen the fittings. They are soft and easily rounded. Once you do that, you are in deep dodo.
