How hard is it to change the cap and rotor for our cars?Also the fuel filter?

None of them take much effort, as long as you keep track of you plug wires its a snap, I suggest changing them over on at a time, the cap and rotor should require no tools, though a flat head screwdriver is sometimes needed to release the 2 spring clips that hold the cap down. The rotor inside the cap is keyed and should just slide off and the new one just slide back on. The filter isn't bad but can be located in a few spots on the different cars I have worked on. Mine is under the car between the fuel tank and the front edge of the rear wheel on the drivers side. Just release the fuel pressure at the rail and have a catch can the the correct sized wrench handy, all of is should take more then 20 min at the most if you have never done it and are not very mechanical.

just make sure that you prelube the nuts on teh fuel filter & use the proper tools. When I changed the filter on mine, all the nuts had fused & the line ended up twisting on both sides. I got another lesson in the flaring tool for that.

ahhhhh, memories...
