Agreeing with THE EVIL TWIN. I change mine regularly. A dirty one will turn the engine light one and I find that disturbing.
I dont clamp the lines, just unplug the bottom wiring plug, unscrew the filter. fill ew one to the brim and put it on.
And as said, prime the bejesus out of it. Pump and more pump while turning the key works.

The ony pit full is the swearing if you can't start it. And if that is the case, have the jumper lead handy.
