It's rather simple. I use an oil filter strap wrench to remove the cover. In a nut shell remove the cover, pull the old filter out, drain the left over fuel, put new filter and new orings back in, replace cover, start her up. After replacing the filter I usually fill my bowl with standadyne to help clean the injectors. Sure someone will reply that I'm nuts
