I haven't done one of these but I just looked at the repair manual that I have. Here's some pics to help you. It looks pretty straight forward.

if you look at the filter, it has a welded nut on the top and bottom of it. if you put a crescent wrench on those, while breaking the nuts on the fuel line loose, it'll give you some stability. I replaced the filter in mine just a few weeks ago, and it was pure hell as it looked like someone had tried to do it in the past, and rounded off the bottom nut. Thank God for the pipe wrench.
