Hello, my info says the filter is located, rear setting area, center, under the vehicle near the tank. Looks like the filter has a threaded fitting on one, quick connect fitting on the other. I have taken the quick connect fitting loose with needle noise pliers, probably best to use the proper tool, the auto store sells that tool. You need to be careful of fuel pressure, before you take anything loose. Usually if the vehicle sits over night without running or the key cycled, there should not be much pressure on it, you still need to be aware. Take the cap loose.
