I recently bought a new fuel strainer and fuel filter for my 1992 SSEI, How hard is it to change these, what tools will i need, how long will it take, and is there any online guide as on how to do this?
Fuel filter is easy. A wrench or socket to loosen the bracket, and needlenose pliers to release the fittings.
The strainer......you're talking in the tank? The fuel pump/pickup strainer? Your're dropping the tank, bud. Preferably as empty as possible, and while NOT smoking
Get a helper. Shouldn't be too bad.

I haven't actually dropped my tank, but I've spent enough time under there. I'd back the car up on ramps, then drop it. 2 or 3 hours, taking your time, plenty of beer and a good friend? Just a guess. Should be pretty straightforward.

LOL im only 18 so i dont there theres gonna be any beer involved, and yeah my friends really technical, built 3 camaro'* from scratch and hes got a 2002 35th anniversary camaro SS (drools) and hes done work on that so im sure hes gonna know how, if not guess were gonna learn.
the higher you jack up the back end, the easier its gonna be, and block it up well. we had to do so much jerking on the fuel lines to get them off i was afraid we'd knock the car off onto ourselves. i couldn't use ramps because they were too steep for the bumper to clear.
