I agree with the parts list toyota gave. Take the car to a shop and let them change the fuel filter. The price they'll charge for labor is less than the price of the metric line wrenches you'd need.

Yeah, but those wrenches would be a one-time cost only.

Everything there is pretty easy, but like the guys said, the fuel filter can be a bitch if the lines are in bad shape. Invest in a Haynes manual for you car ($15 or so at Canadian Tire), they're not the best, but pretty good for basic stuff like that. Let us know how you do.

a chilton repair manual would be a better choice than haynes in my experience.

If you want a really good manual, pick up a Helm's. They're around $50 but are worth the money. They are more specific to your car instead of every trim model for like 5 years.
