Plus the hoses leading into the filter are sometimes difficult to unscrew due to the small amount of slack you have to work with and the fact that they may have been screwed into the filter for so long. I'd think it's important to keep up on maintenance on the front one simply because the maintenance manuals say to replace it (every 30K miles I think).

Overall it's not that tough of a job. If you have a shop do it they'll probably charge you $30-$50 or so. Just a rough guess.

3. I didn't know the 4th gen accords had a rear fuel filter. If it does it's probably on the fuel filter. Neither the hayes manual nor the owners manual mentions it, or I've never seen it. I wouldn't worry about it. In the later generations, the fuel pump filter doesn't even really require maintenance and is usually only replaced if the pump is replaced. So yeah, basically, not that important to worry about unless you suspect a problem.
