    It's not very difficult at all. Can be done within half an hour easily.
    Socket set to take the back seats out.
    Big flathead screw driver to take the big black bungs out of the floor.
    Man handle the hoses off,
    Screw driver again and a hammer to loosen the fuel pump, shake old petrol out of filter, , reverse. I put jubilee clips back onto the hoses to make it easier in future if I ever needed to change stuff.
    There's plenty of guides on here too bud. Just search.

    Your talking fuel pump.

    Filter is passenger rear arch. Undo the hose at both ends (press and pull) then swap it.

    Make sure you have it the right way and prime it before firing it up.
    Under 5 minutes

    Use a zip tie to secure it
