The filter on that vehicle is part of the fuel pump and is not available as an individual part. To replace it you replace the entire pump assembly. To gain access to it you need to remove the rear seat and get to the access panel. Remove that panel and under it is the fuel tank and pump. Now go to the fuse panel and remove the fuel pump fuse. Now try to start the engine a few times to remove the fuel pressure in the lines. Now you can remove the lines and electrical connector from the pump. Now clean around the pump and blow any dirt away. Now remove the lock ring and you can remove the pump module. Then reverse the process to install the new module. Might I ask why you wish to replace the filter?
