I have to caution you that the fuel system is under pressure and could create a hazard or injury. The fuel filter is located under the vehicle along the right (passenger) frame rail. It looks like a little canister with two threaded female openings. If memory serves me correct you will need a 15mm flare nut wrench for the lines and a 10mm socket for the bracket. Make sure you take note of the arrow on the new filter. This should point in the direction of fuel flow. If you are uncomfortable performing this operation it is best left for the pros.
