its just a case of unscrewing it and put plenty of rags under it as you will get diesel coming out also pull the old filter down as far as possile as theres a long plastic tube thats attached to the filter housing inside just don't bent it too much.
For re-fitting go and buy some forte diesel treatment and fill the new filter up before fitting then its a case of fitting.
You can also just fill it with diesel before fitting. :y

as stated above woth the proviso, that when its undone before you put the new one on give the fuel heater atwist to make sure its still tight, they have a habit of undoing when you take filter off leading to airleaks in the fuel system!!!
its screwed on above the fuel filter so you cant help but loosen it when you undo the filter!! :y
