Question 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 ). 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.
