It's really not that bad. Just watch your eyes.

i did mine on friday and it wasnt that bad. took me about an hour including finding it in the first place. i didnt cut the fuel, theres not really a huge amount in there as the pump isnt running when the ignition isnt on. it is kinda fiddly - i had the car on a hoist to do it which probly made it easier. just follow one of the how-to's and its fairly straight forward. thats what i did

Saline solution works well when you do get gas in your eyes. It was one of the worst feelings in my life. I now wear safety glasses every time I touch the pressurized side of the fuel system. Tricky part was finding my way back into the house and the saline solution while blind. Water in the sink just doesn't cut it.

It really isn't that bad... just expect to get a little gas on you and definitely watch your eyes.
