Use a filter wrench for the oil filter because I dont think it is possible to apply any force at all by hand (because of the positioning) I use one of hte band type because I dont want to end up with a filter that is stuck but has a hole in it.

There seems to be two different fuel filter housing designs - one has a socket fitting to make it easy to open - mine doesnt. Make sure the housing is very clean before disturbing any connections. Try not to break the top because a new housing is £50+

I know some people replace the housing as a matter of course to avoid any issues. Air filter is easy and I use a suction pump to change the oil.
