Not too hard at all. I can have the baby out and back in, in 5 minutes. You just got to hold your mouth right (small hands help too).

Turn petcock to off position and remove left side cover and the battery. Go to the other side of the bike and remove the side cover. You can access one end of
the filter through the bottom of your battery box. Use long needle nose pliers to undo the hose clamp and slide it up along the hose and out of the way. Reach
in under the bike and up to the filter with one hand, grab the hose through the battery box opening with the other, and then give the filter and hose a good
twist to break it loose from the filter. Pull the hose off and drain fuel from it. Using a small flat head screwdriver, carefully place it between the filter
and the rubber band type holder it sits in, then push the filter out and away from you as far as you can. On the right side of the bike you should see the
other end of the hose and filter between the rear header pipe and the tool tray. Pull hose and filter through the opening, remove the clamp and hose from that
end. Install is the reverse of this. Sounds tougher than it is.

Hey thanks Stan. I just copied that post and I'll use your technique to change my filter this year.
I'm of the realization that even though my 98 T had only 3850 miles on it when I bought it that still makes it 10 years old. I've got to think about replacing my original tires and several other maintenance items, just to have peace of mind that I've updated old items. I'm also trying to restrain myself with the number of chrome items I want to add this year.

A good time to change the fuel filter is when changing the rear tire. With my bike lifted off floor and the rear wheel removed accessing the fuel filter from
underneath the bike was not at all difficult.
