Get some rags....place them around the furl filter...loosen the small bolt thats on the top of the feed line(line from the filter to the fuel rail, bolts ontop of the filter) that releives fuel pressure...now all you need to do is remove the fuel lines from the top of the filter, remove the filter from the firewall...replace with the new one, make sure you use the new copper washer/gaskets that come with the new filter and that the old ones aren't stuck to the fuel lines...put fuel lines back on, then I'd prime the car a fe times...pull the dizzy plugs or something and just let the car turn over a few times to let the fuel filter fill up and the fuel pressure...then start the car and your done

relieve the pressure first by removing the gas cap.

youll still get some leakage when you loosen the banjoy bolt, but it wont be nearly as bad.

Yeah, step one for anything involving the fuel system.

Well, and common sense too (at least to me).... that sucking sound when you take the gas cap off is because the system is depressurizing as you've released the vaccuum in the tank.
