Saftey tip:
Do not have any ignition source nearby when you’re doing this procedure.
Make sure if you’re using a trouble light, that it’s positioned at a safe distance.

4) Remove the clips that retain the hose to the filter.
Hint:
Have a drain pan handy, as a small amount of fuel will spill out of the hoses and filter.
Gently pry down on the clips with a small screwdriver, while pinching the top of the clips with your fingers.
5) Once the clips are removed, pull the hoses off of both ends of the filter - (here’s where the drain pan will come in handy)
6) Loosen the hose clamp and the two bolts holding the fuel filter mounting bracket.
7) Slide the old filter out.
