Although the workshop manual doesn't say when to change the filter, it does say how to do it, but note that the instructions are a but unclear. The manual says when installing the filter "...position it so that the arrow on the external housing is pointing towards the flange." If you look at the filter when it's in position, the arrow actually points away from the flange but the fuel flow, (which is what's indicated by the arrow) is towards the flange. So just something to bear in mind.
Reassembly, as they say, is the reverse of removal. Just remember to use some rubber grease on the o-rings on the flange and fuel couplings and apply Loctite 243 to the six flange screws (tightened to 5 Nm). Make sure the fuel pipes are the right way round and pushed back into the guide channels moulded into the tank base and that the electrical connector is sitting on the vertical cylinder head.
Job done and, hopefully, it'll last for another ten years.
