It is quite easy. I think your filter is just inside the rear drivers side tire. Fwd of the axle.
Remove the underpan, have new clamps handy. The old ones are not always reusable.
Pinch off the lines as you pull out the old filter. Have a catch can ready for the gas spillage.
Do the lines one at a time.
Easy as pie. 20 min job for avg joe. Maybe 45 for a newbie.
Take care not to smoke, have open electricity lines, etc. Basic safety stuff.
