Anybody know ?An oil change place such as jiffy lube should be able to do it for you.

You will need to let pressure off of the fuel rail before unhooking the filter.



I would recommend purchasing a service manual for your vehicle from Autozone. Newer vehicles also typically have a special disconnect tool that will be needed to remove the old filter. They run about 7-15 dollars.



I do not know what vehicles %26quot;Rudedude%26quot; has changed fuel filters on, but I have owned Fords, Chevys, and Suzukis, and have never heard of such prices for tools and fuel filters. I respectfully disagree with his answer. Snap-on tools are also not practical for the average home-mechanic due to their high cost. There are much more practically priced disconnect tools available.



As for disposal of the fuel filter, wrap it in a plastic grocery bag and put it in the trash can.In-line fuel filter v.w.2001 new beetle. Can it be changed without taking it to a mechanic???
