I plan to try doing mine this Sunday also. Thanks for all the tips and I'll repost my success/failures.

I replaced mine. Ended up buying the tool with the new filter rather than rigging up a tool. Only $8 from AZ, why not? Glad I did. I didn't need the aggravation, and it was hard enough as it was with being wedged in between the forward tank and the frame. Here's a pic of the fuel that came out of the old filter. Convinced it was the original filter (154,000 miles)! Truck runs noticeably stronger!
