Changing petrol filter -> 5M-E?

Hey All,
I know it is not rocket science but is there an easier way to get at the petrol filter then just under the car? Also, is there a trick in trying to undo the bolts on the top and bottom of the filter if they are done up too tight  ?
Cheers

Allan: Swaring doesn't do any justice, just makes me look like a faul mouth in the neighbourhood 
V8_MA61: I would like to keep the bolts since i don't have an array of spare ones and might put a slit in the hose if i used the chisel...
Nope, The bolt is still stuck on the filters
Cheers.

Soak the damn thing in WD40 and just keep going back and trying it, thats how I eventually got the one off my 1GEU when I ripped it out.

Arent they like a standard bolt? Surely they're available? My 302 bolts (even being imperial) were available in a store..it may be your only choice to do it like that...its how i have to get my eb falcon oil filter off...stupid design, so screwdriver around its rim is the only way!
But as frank said...soak it a few times with wd40 or inox, and it may come a bit easier.

just use a breaker bar
mine took me about 1 hour to replace, and that was with the whole intake manifold off

I tried breaker bar AND lots of swearing ... someone used locktight on mine  . I took it to the local garage who pulled out their super compressed air pwer wrench. Made me late for work, but at least they didn't chanrge me!
Good luck!
