I replaced mine about 3 months ago.

Whatever you do make sure you have the special wrenches for pipe fittings or you'll spin the corners off.

Soak them on and off for a week with some good penetrating oil and then use the fitting wrenches on both the filter and the tube fitting and you should be good.

I lost about 1/4 gallon of gas when I did mine.. I open the tank to bleed off pressure then twist it down to keep the air pressure in and slow down the gas!!! I wouldn't leave it open...

Good luck
