Fuel filter replacement

I wouldn't be able to just take the filter from that since the port is wrong. 2008 and up ports are off center while the 2007 and below have it in the middle. I won't buy an unknown brand aftermarket pump, one too many failures in another vehicle (Thank God it failed at my work's parking lot and not on the highway). I bought a delphi pump/filter for a Dodge Caravan, very expensive and still seems to make different uneasy whining noises...works fine though, going on 3-4 years, but I really don't want to spend that kind of money anyway. I just want the big tube filter and perhaps the pre-screen thing. I saw a chinese brand on ebay, and questioned him about "aty parts" filters and he responded almost immediately from China promising oem quality.

I don't know... googling the part numbers from that ebay listing show other suppliers, too and other brands compatible. It will take some googling for sure to find something I think I can trust. I'm sure China can make a good fuel filter, it might be a fine filter and the price is a bit on the high side (maybe because they're a known company over there) but it's really hit or miss when you never heard the brand here. Thanks, though!

My bad, I thought you just wanted to replace the strainer.
I was looking at this one:

You might also want to check out the 2013 Rav4 fuel pumps. They look very similar.

Actually some earlier 09 still had the old style fuel pump and housing, that's why it's showing both parts. I referred to them as 09- and 09+.

Post #23 from this thread will show you the differences, which you already know.

If you buy just the filter, the only difficult part would be stretching that black hose over the hard plastic, but still not that difficult. You could pour or dip it in boiling water, shake it and make sure no water is in the line, carefully widen it with needle nose pliers, and slide it right over, I believe there's a barbed portion.
Or maybe buy a plastic tube expander, something like this:
