3. Disconnect the fuel lines. Once the fuel pressure has been relieved, you can disconnect the fuel lines from the fuel filter. Use a wrench to loosen the fuel line nuts, and then pull the fuel lines off of the filter.
4. Remove the fuel filter. Once the fuel lines have been disconnected, you can remove the fuel filter. Unscrew the fuel filter mounting bracket, and then lift the fuel filter out of the vehicle.
5. Install the new fuel filter. Insert the new fuel filter into the vehicle, and then screw the fuel filter mounting bracket back into place. Connect the fuel lines to the fuel filter, and then tighten the fuel line nuts.
