It is a nice design, you pull the fuel filter out the hole change it put it back, there are spring clips it clips into to hold it solid, the problem was the hose from the fuel pump was too short to let the filter come out the hole maybe shortened sometime in its life or maybe came that way from Honda dont know, but it is well protected. Im fairly good size 6 3 195 big hands and have gotten bigger working on engines all these years.
