The fuel filter is a doddle to change, if it is corroded on the outside it must have been on there for some time and will probably be gummed up inside. This will reduce the fuel pressure resulting in a slight loss in performance. You will probably need new clips as the standard ones usually have to be cut off. Full procedure in Haynes manual.

use an oxy-eceteline torch to cut it off! :P

Joking!

Buy new clips and then cut the old ones off wi a hacksaw!
