Default anyone changed a sportka fuel filter?

thinking of changing mine as dont know when it was last done,
anyone got any hints or tips?
do you need to take fuel pump fuse out and turn it over a few times before removing old filter?
cheers

I've done loads of ka's at work, just make sure you have something to catch the fuel that will spill from the filter.

unclip old filter and clip on new one crank over job done 10 minutes max, you will get fuel in your arm pit, enjoy it while it lasts
