Default Fuel Filter replacement

Hello all need to replace my fuel filter, are there any tricks of the trade out there I should know about or is it a simple job?
I got the new filter from the local Cummins shop, but to be honest I have not even looked in the box[sm=lame.gif]

Thanks, Paul

hit up geno's garage online and you can get the filters there cheaper than you can from Cummins

1-1/8 socket or a 12" adjustable wrench will do it.

just make sure to close the fuel drain before you prime the canister back.

to prime the canister just 'bump' the starter to force the lift pump to operate. do this 3-4 times and then start her up.
