w210 97 E320 fuel filter change

Hi all, Can anyone tell me if a fuel filter change on a 97 E320 is easy enough to do myself or if I should take it to a pro mechanic. I've read that it's a pretty easy job to do so I'll most likely want to do it myself. It's next to the rear differential right? Any advice on how to get to it and if there are any tricky spots I may encounter during the change. Any advice is greatly appreciated...

It's not too hard. My description would now be as accurate as say someone who owns a 97 E320. You may want to ask someone in the W210 forum.

my bro has an e320. he bought the pump, tools, etc. pump sucked, nah, really it sucked, so now he gets it done at mercedes.

i went to goodyear once what was i thinking, they messed it up. i think they put in too much oil and caused an oil leak, never go to them again. now i go to mercedes, it's not so bad. $50, and you get a full tank of fuel, a car wash if you want, and an oil change.
