How do I remove the hoses without damaging them?
I've loosened the clamps, but hoses are stuck onto filter.

Either you pull it right off or cut the hose if there's slack to reattach or replace the hose-

It should be around 75.00. Based on where you live it could be different.

Its pretty rare that a fuel filter would do that. To save some money remove it and blow thru it to see if it is restricted. If it was the car would run bad all the time . If its clear I would start checking other things. Computer codes would be a good start

Might not be the fuel filter-to prove it-check the fuel pressure with a gauge before and after the fuel filter

The filter should be close to brake master cylinder. Make sure there is no pressure on system before taking any lines loose. Pull fuel pump fuse, start vehicle, let it run till it stalls, try more than once. Even then, be aware of fuel in the lines.

The filter should be part of fuel pump assemble. There should access cover under the rear seat cushion.
Remove the fuel filler cap to release tank pressure.
Relieve the fuel system pressure.
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the rear seat cushion.
Remove the fuel pump service cover.
Disconnect the electrical connector from the fuel pump.
Disconnect the quick connectors from the fuel pump.
Remove the six mounting screws and the fuel pump module from the tank.
