How do I change a fuel filter on a 1996 mazda protégé lx. I found where it was but it seem too confined and I can't get my hands on it.

Unless you happen to find somebody who knows your make, model and year, you won't get a custom tailored answer. The best advice I can give is to make friends with somebody at a local parts store who is willing to provide advice/direction and also get a Chilton's manual for your car. Also, not to scare you, but use precaution when working on the fuel system. That means no flames or anything that could spark and having a fire extinguisher handy. Good luck.
