Then back through the hole and screw the new fuel filter on.

Then snug it up with the big oil filter wrench, not real tight just nice and snug

Then crack the bleeder screw loose and start pumping the primer.

Pump until fuel starts coming out, then snug the screw back up, not real tight you are screwing into aluminum, that why I just use a flat head screwdriver.

Clean around filter with either brake clean or a rag, pump primer a few more times and check for leaks around WIF sensor and top of filter were it meets the housing. If no leaks, start truck up and check for leaks while running. If no leaks, then you are done and just saved yourself lots of easy money. Do this every 10-15K miles, it only takes about 10 mins and is very easy. Hope this helps some people out and encourages them to try it themselves.
