Default Fuel Filter Replacement

Hey Guys,

I have been doing heaps of searching and can not find a tutorial ( With pictures ) on how to replaced the fuel filter.
I know it is 'in tank' but I don't care. I want to replace it as it's hit 100k miles and I would like to know if anyone has any advice/direction.

I have a fuel filter on standby from Toyota waiting to go.

Cheers guys

I haven't changed the filter on an IS before, but if its anything like most other Toyotas the pump assembly is one big cage assembly that comes out as a whole, the filter is a little bag type filter that is on the feed of the pump. It shouldn't be too difficult, once you get the back seat off you should have access to it.

GM no longer recommends replacing filter at a scheduled interval either. Just when noted restriction in fuel flow. Which is very rare. I haven't seen it an issue on a fuel injected engine since the early 80's. Its just rare.

I had a lot of issues on my 98 GS400 over changing the fuel filter. How to do it was important. Honestly I would leave it alone on Lexus. I'll have to find my info on it I saved on here, I don't remember the details.

Here you go. I didn't any take pictures at the time. It was too cold to be taking photos by myself. See links on page from other people doing it. As my wording describes what you'll run into. I was already used to it working on my old GS400.
