It's pretty much a straight swap. if the filter is in a position where it's hanging down the you could fill the new filter up with Automatic transmission fluid to prime the filter. any other air should bleed itself out. there is a slight chance that air may get trapped near the fuel injectors . If the rough running after you've changed the filter doesn't subside after a few minutes then you can crack each injector open where it connects to the injector and wait till nothing but pure fuel comes out then tight and repeat the process for each of the injectors. But the kind of car you have you shouldn't have to do this.

Wow, that sounds like a nightmare. No wonder why the car manufacturers are in trouble, they can't seem to pull their heads out of their asses! In answer to your question, I would have to say yes. Anything is possible if you are creative. I went through a similar situation with a Dodge Caravan, the unit was a little tricky to open up, but patience and persistence is key here. If you get stuck, you could bring the unit to a shop that refurbishes gas tanks. A lot of these places also refurbish the sending units as well, they might be able to help you with that. Good Luck!!

It is just a straight swap. Although you will probably introduce air into the pipes this will self bleed at the engine as the air will rise to the highest point and eventually escape via the engine. Usually the worst you can expect is a little trouble starting or slightly erratic running for a few seconds after changing it, but this will be short lived.
