How do you replace a fuel filter?
Hey guys I was just wondering if there was any writes up on how to change a fuel filter on a 92 integra? I've done some research and it doesn't seem hard but Id feel more comfortable having a write up of some sort, or even a quick step list. Thanks for the help!
There's a G3 how-to on my build thread:

DAs are slightly different but the basic principle is the same.

Fuel Filter Replacement for a DA
1. Get new fuel filter (~$11 aftermarket; ~$17 OEM Honda) WITH aluminum or copper washers (comes included with OEM Honda).
2. Remove Gas Gap to relieve fuel system pressure.
3. Use a 12mm socket to open the banjo bolt on the filter (the top small bolt) while holding the larger bolt around it to keep it from turning. Wrap your towels around the filter as fuel may spray out. Open the bolt slowly.
4. After the remaining pressure is relieved, open the larger bolts and unscrew the fuel lines from the filter. Don't mix up the in/out lines. Keep them upright so fuel doesn't spill out.
5. You can either unbolt the whole filter bracket by removing the two top screws or unbolt the filter holder by loosening one bolt on the side of the bracket. Be careful, the filter has fuel in it. Don't spill it on your paint. Remove the old filter.
6. Put in the new filter and washers and bolts. Tighten everything up but don't over-tighten.
7. Pressurize the fuel system by idling the car after you clean up.
8. Check for leaks after driving and when going out the first few times. That's it!
