Re: fuel filter replacement

First you'll need to releive the fuel pressure. You can do this by removing the fuel pump fuse, which is located in a black box on the radiator support. Remove the fuse, then run the car until it dies.

Most new filters come with clips, but if yours did not you should have no problems. I usually use a screwdriver or needle nose pliers to pull the horseshoe shaped plastic clip out. If you don't damage it, they are reusable. If you do damage it, most stores carry them, as well as the dealer. It may not be a bad idea to have a few on hand just in case.
