I did this job utilizing a lift for a third time (3 different Boxsters) just a few weeks ago. Although the first two times were uneventful, I managed to break the fuel line fitting for the line that runs from the back of the filter to the fuel rail.
I was struggling to release the fuel line at the filter ( forward line was easily removed) and was trying to lower the filter out of the tunnel area to get a better grip on the fuel line fitting release buttons. Next thing I new, snap! Boy was I pissed at myself.

A new fuel line runs $92 + tax and shipping from Sunc__st.

So much saving by DYI this time...
