Quick fuel filter question please...

[oregonmon]

I'm going to replace my fuel filter but see no reason to replace the accumulator. There is no need to remove the accumulator correct. I just need to disconnect the filter from the accumulator and replace the filter right?
Sorry rookie questions but just wanted to make sure.
Next, clutch cable replacement. Ooooooooooooooooooo!

Accumulator only requires replacement if it is leaking or CIS system pressure testing/trouble shooting indicates it has failed - leave it in place. Only replace the fuel filter. Disconnect battery ground strap prior to changing fuel filter. No sources of open flame - do not do this job in a garage with a natural gas hot water heater. Job is best done outside. Wear safety googles. Use two wrenches when loosening fittings on filter; one is to react the loosening torque so you don't twist a fuel line or other part. After changing the filter; reconnect battery ground and turn ignition key to on position (not start position). To purge and prime fuel system on engine: Pull off air filter cover and air filter and lift up air meter disk - fuel pump will come on and disk will stiffen and fuel system/pump sound will change. Hold up disk no more than 5 seconds. Look for leaks around fuel filter fittings. Reinstall air filter and cover. Start car. Cheers, Jim

Okay sounds simple enough, thanks Jim.
