Thats probably overkill, but i guess it cant hurt for 10 bucks and 5 minutes. I changed mine at 30,000 with whatever they had at Autozone, but i cant imagine having to change it more than every 15K or so.

Under the car on the drivers-side in front of the rear tire. It's a PITA without a lift. Many of us have taken gasoline showers trying to do it under jacked-up cars.

I think I used a bosch. It's not REALLY important though. Just remember to depressurize everything and try not to cause any static electricity. Also, I think at the most it only needs to be changed every 30,000.

Im guessing the best way to do this is pull the fuel pump fuse and run the car till it cuts off that way I wont get soaked in fuel??

That is one way of doin it, but if you have a little bucket it's not bad. Just a little gas comes out. Just jack up the car, take off the gas cap and make the switch.
