It's just like any other fuel filter to change, you need those special clips to unhook it. Stop at any auto parts store they will know what you need. Think thier under $10. Also release the fuel pressure. It looks like a valve stem on the fuel rails, put a paper towel or 2 over it when you push it in. Then unscrew the gas cap and put it back on.

You can also release the fuel pressure by opening the small panel next to the driver seat on the piller with the seat belt. Then put a screwdriver handle against the small box with a button on it and hit the screwdriver blade with a hammer, give it a good whack, this will shut off the fuel as though the car was in a an accident. then start the car and run the fuel out of the line. you will still get a bit of mess at the fuel filter when you change it, but its not as messy as the poossible spray of fuel from the valve under the hood.

any questions pm me. I have done this a few times and its the best way IMHO.
