Tad's right... cheap and (can be) messy... unless you like gasoline in the face.
I have a couple plastic hose clamps I just clamp on to each hose (in and out). The fuel filter is, I believe, no more than $5 - $6... not an expensive part by any means. Pull it out, put the new on up there, put the hoses on, and you're good to go!
Oh yeah... again, watch for the gas in the face... had it happen too many times to discuss. Face and clothes drenched in gas.
