Help me with Changing Fuel Filter please.

This would seemingly be something that even the most simpleminded individual could do. So I believe I qualify.
Is it as simple as just unscrew - remove - insert - and hook back together?
Is there nothing to remember of importance?
I haven't driven the car for a couple of weeks, will there be an incredible amount of preassure when I unscrew the container?
Is it ok to use my portable propane torch as a light source while working on it?

Thanx for your help with this matter.

Im pretty sure its just that easy. Remember to unscrew the gas cap before you start to reliev some of the pressure and be prepared to have some gas get spilled on you; so i think it would be fine to use a torch for lighting.

it's pretty easy. hold one side of the filter, and turn the other side of the filter. you need to wrenchs. and good luck.

Releive the fuel pressure by pressing the Schraeder valve on the fuel rail. Remove old filter. Some fuel will spill, have a couple of rags handy. Put the new filter on.
While you are at the auto parts store getting the filter, pick up a manual.
