Fuel filter is a pain in the ***, wouldn't mess with it unless your having a problem. There suposed to last the life of the car.

On my '95 Integra, you just need normal wrenches to change it.

^civic and teg fuel filters are easy, accords and ludes are a different story. i changed mine when they did swap, but i would reccomend it at timing belt changes regardless of what the dealer says since it says to in the shop manual.

NO, they will not.
believe me there's maintenace you need to do, fuel filter is one of those.
they are 25 buck from honda, 10 buck from autozone.
it's not hard to change, it just take time.
little knowledge of the pressurized fuel system would help.
anyway ever change a fuel filter in a dsm, yeah, it's HARD
little preview if you want to do it.
you'll need some basic tool(10 and 12 mm socket, wrench, rag,etc)
fuel filter of course(it should come with all washer, they are very important, no dont use the old one)
-take out the battery(fuel+spark=boom)
-make a mark with a perminent marker or something so you would over tighten the filter, there's no torque spec on the filter neither.
-release the pressure in the system(there's a release valve)
-wrench out the inlet and outlet bolt(banjo) with a 10-12mm socket wrench
-take out the old filter(it's a firebomb, dont even think of washing it) and the old washer, clean the fitting.
-reverse the step, tighten it to the marking.
-turn the key to "on"(dont start yet), let the fuel pump pump enough gas to the entire system, go out and change for leaks.
-start the car, check for leak, if there's none, apply throttle and go back and check for leak. if everything goes well, take a slow test drive.
