I'm probably going to hear, "Just unbolt it." I'm asking in case there's anything special that needs to be done. The car has 75k on it and it's the original filter. Probably a good idea, no?

Yeah, good idea at that mileage. Nothing to it.

Fru-T

-1) Make sure car is cold and you didnt just run it unless you like fire
-2) Open up the gas cap to release any pressure in the tank
-3) Unbolt and replace..prepare for some fuel to leak out...do outside unless you like the smell of gas in the house
-4) Optional step is you can pull the fuse to the fuel pump to drain the fuel filter by running the car before you unbolt it...but NOT necessary
