I have a 1997 Honda Accord that the fuel filter is clogged im believing. How hard will it be to change the fuel filter on my own? i got the filter from the auto store just need to know how hard it will be to get to the filter itself. I know i had a chevy beretta once that was really simple to get to it took about 10 minutes on the side of the road to get out and change, please answer thank you.,

Your going to have to relive the fuel system pressure first. pull the fuel pump fuse and then crank the engine over, let it run till it dies and then try to start it again just to be sure all fuel pressure is relived.(if you dont do this youll have about 40psi of fuel spraying. this is only an option but it stops fuel spraying and keeps things cleaner.) Im pretty sure your fuel filter is just about on the center of the firewall(slightly towards the passeneger side). Start by removing the fuel line that is connected to the top of the filter. get some towels youll have a little fuel leakage. then remove the fuel line that is connected to the bottom of the filter(or vise versa bottom then top what ever is easiest). then finally remove the two bolts that hold the filter down with the bracket.(or just loose enough to slip the filter out). install in reverse order. replace fuel pump relay/fuse and then turn the car over until it starts. should take you about 15 min if all goes smoothly. good luck!
just found this out...this will help a little more lol removing and replacing should be the same steps. just a different location thats all.

You will need to find out where the filter is. You should have a filter wrench. Then it depends on your point of view if it is easy or not. To one person real easy others next to impossible.How easy is it to change the fuel filter?
Ifyou don't have one of those Chilton ($14.00) books for the honda you might get one cause it should show you the filter location. Many cars have the filter between the tank and the engine on the frame rail.
