I don't like the design myself. Anyone who tries to change the fuel filter on these cars is in for a big surprise. I would not even consider it unless I was absolutely certain that that was the problem.
We had one with a cracked tank and the new tank came with a pump and everything so we we experimented with the old one. We tried to get the integrated filter out of the pump without damaging anything and could not do it.
If you try, the new retainer ring can be removed/installed with a punch and large hammer if you are very careful. The smallest nick will set an evap. code and turn on the CEL. Also you will enjoy the quick disconnect pipe that connects to the pump from inside the tank.
I would do a pressure test and flow test first.
