Searched, but cannot find a DIY for the fuel filter on 01 4.4i. Anyone have one?
 
Now that my intake gaskets and valley pan leaks have been addressed I received a cold start mis-fire one morning and the shop says it would be prudent to replace my fuel filter. That said anyone have a DIY for the replacement?

I changed my fuel filter 2 weeks ago.
It is a major pain in the ass, but I can describe to you how to do it.

Under the rear passenger side (driver side) you have to take out a cover that has around 15 screws. Once you remove that cover you will see the fuel filter.

It is the only thing under there. If you look under the car you will know what I am talking about.

It was only a pain in the ass becausse I did not feel comfortable being under the car like that even with two jacks. It also got sloppy (I even pulled the fuel pump fuse before I started).

I have to go eat but I will try to find the picture I found of what is under there for you.
