Default trying to change fuel filter on 96 accord, any tricks or tips?

I decided to change the fuel filter on my girlfriend's 96 Accord 4cyl. Non-VTEC. When I actually looked at it, it seems so difficult. I got under the car, looked at it from above, and I just can't seem to get to it. got any suggestions?

it's all there once you get the bonnet open.

i did it with just wrench on top, one hand with the 14 and one hand with the 17mm, the space is ultra tight but it could be done.

we could talk all day or you could do it yourself

I find it easier to just take off the hood to allow more room to work in and see what you are doing. Take off the intake tube and undo the vacuum lines and pretty soon, you will know where to go. It's not hard, but it does take some time.
