Wow! Talk about 10 year revival!

I did mine backed up on ramps. Forceps to clamp the fuel line then a dual barb fitting to a hose to drain into however many fuel cans needed. Then a jack under the differential, pull 2 bolts from the mount and lower the jack just enough to access the filter with ordinary socket.

No special tools needed if you pull 2 bolts.
