How do i change the fuel filter on a ford transit 2.5l di engine?

I am making the transition from regular diesel to Bio, and need to change the fuel filter, however as i know this is something that will need to be done more regularly I want to learn to do this myself. Unfortunately I can't find any detailed enough sites or information on how to do this correctly.

Any advice would be much appreciated, or links to the relevent information.

Undo the nip clip on filter head pull off old filter.Fill new filter with fuel push filter up into filter head but psh it good and hard as they sometimes dont get a grip and tighten up the nip clip.Fire it up no need to bleed it
