Please advise; unexpected fuel filter hose clamps
Also, the screws that secures the two plastic rings holding the fuel filter in place are they torx head? I can't quite see since they're angled down. Thanks in advance.

That is why I miss the "How-to's" being posted on the home page. Would be a lot easier for folks to find the info. Hope it goes smoothly the rest of the way.

those look like small "ear clamps" similar to what is used on CV boots, however I'm sure fuel line clamps will work, just make sure you tighten them down good, lot of pressure in those fuel lines!

WOWZERS GUYS finally got the fuel filter changed and mercy what a process. I had a devil of a time getting both the clamp and single front hose off the filter. The back two wasn't so bad. Of course that was all compounded by being overly careful trying not to break any of the plastic fuel lines. I replaced the factory pressed on clamps with the screwdriver tightening solid band-style common on euro cars; my local Autozone sold them. Getting the ginormous belly pan re installed wasn't quite so bad as I was dreading.
Nevertheless I'm glad I got this done and the engine does seem to run a little smoother with a tad more power between shifting. Next on the list front brakes.
