LOL Mine went without incident took an hour (first time) just followed the advice from Robinete's site, ran the tank down to 1/4, pulled the fuel pump fuse, opened the fuel tank cap, and very little gas came out. Most of the work is done blindly and a good pair of long reach bent nose pliers were a big help but not too bad. Welcome to the RX-7 world ! ! !

Next time I change it, I'm probably gonna relocate it to the engine bay like some others have.

Yep just did mine today after reading this thread. I went at it with 2 flashlights, car on stands, one pair of needle nose pliers, 1- 10" socket with medium extension on a 3/8's drive. Pretty easy just a pain in the *** trying to get the hoses off the filter other than that it was a breeze.
I could really feel the performance gain after that. My car still had the STOCK ORIGINAL Fuel Filter.
Somebody really has been playing with the weed with my car. The whole car is original except for the plugs and oil filter and AST. I mean original brakes, everything.
I'm just glad I got the poor '93 FD before she went to the grave.
But you aren't kidding the Fuel filter is a monster compaired to my first gen which is a breeze, 15 minutes!

i didnt get that much gas on me, but i pulled the line off the fuel filter and forgot to release the pressure from the tank so i had high pressure fuel coming out haha, just plugged the line back in and opened the gas tank.
After that, it pretty much went without incident. removed lines and plugged them with minimal spillage, and the lines went back on the new filter with no problems at all. Re-mounting it was a bit of a bitch though
