Fuel Filter leaking
Hey guys,
I need to replace my fuel filter, it is leaking. As anyone ever changed their fuel filter on their W221? Any tips or things I should know. I order the OEM part and it will be here in 3 days so Monday maybe. I want to do this myself and was told it's a fairly simple task. Any info or tips is greatly appreciated. Thanks forum!!!

Thank you
Thanks konigstiger, video doesn't show the filter. Safe to assume the hoses on the filter are similar clams and no special tools needed? After watching video, I think this is something I can handle. Will have part delivered on Monday and will install that evening after work.

Update: Done in 20 min
This was the easiest R and R I've done on my car. My hands smell like gas, latex gloves got ripped, but it was so easy to change the filter. I'm pretty handy but no master mechanic by far. If you need a fuel filter replaced, order the filter and do it yourself and save the $$$. From start to finish took me 20 minutes.
