Is changing the fuel filter on my 04GT something I could do myself, given that my mechanical aptitude is on the lower end? I searched the site for a how to, but didn't see anything. Is there a good how to out there?

It took me three tries to find this. There is a link in the last post to the procedure.

The filter is about $15.

The special 'tool' for the quick-connect high-pressure fuel lines is about $12.
A package of 6 different-sized plastic washer thingies that cost about a dime each to produce. :banghead:
But you REALLY need the one that's YOUR size, so bite the bullet and buy the package.

IF you try to remove the connection with screwdriver/pliers, you will permanently f' it up and need to spend twice that for a new fuel line end.
Don't ask how I know :roll2:

Good luck.
