No special tools required. Obtain a new fuel filter before starting, making sure it is specifically designed for your engine. Fuel injection system filters are built to withstand high pressure where filters made for carbureted systems may burst from the high pressure. The fuel filter is mounted within the left frame rail. Position the front end of vehicle higher than the rear to prevent siphoning. Remove the fuel cap and reinstall it after relieving the fuel system pressure. Clean the fittings before continuing. Disconnect the push-connect fittings from the filter. Note which way the arrow on the filter is pointing - the new filter must be installed the same way. Loosen the clamp screw and detach the filter from the bracket. Install the new filter in the bracket with the arrow pointing in the right direction and tighten the clamp screw securely. Carefully connect each fuel line to filter. Start engine and check for fuel leaks. - From Haynes Repair Manual for Ford Ranger Pickups 1993 - 2005. Good luck.

You will need special tool to remove the fuel filter do to no tools small enough to get on the 5/16 lines . The spacing on the small line is a 1/4 inch on 1 side and 3/8 of an inch on other side the only accessible line is the 3/8 's line. So take to a garage and have it done
