RE: Fuel Filter ?'s
i jus went under there and took off the line
a lil gas came out and put the end of the new filter in that line
so i had both lines plugged by one filter (new and old)
then i unplugged the old one and put it in the new one
messy and i tasted gas[:-] but it worked
im sure there are better ways of doing it lol

not positive its the same on yours, but i think it is. relieve pressure by letting the car sit for a while (maybe an hour). that will reduce the pressure substantially, then you could either press in the little button in the shrader valve (fuel will come out so be careful)
or just pull the clips out on each side of the fuel filter and pull the filter out. gas will come out no matter what, so be aware of that and protect your eyes.

unplug the inertia switch harness, turn the car over like your starting it, but it won't start, might for about 2 seconds.
that will kill all the pressure but a very little bit.
foxes don't need a tool for the removal, just 2 clips, but your car ????

RE: Fuel Filter ?'s
Im pretty sure it is similar. If the SN95 are a bit like the foxes, the inertia switch is mounted on the other side of your left tail light. It is on my LX notch and my GT. Yes protect your eyes, I pulled it off and had glasses on and all the gas was gone, but one drop decided to wait 10minutes and nailed me right in the corner of my right eye, got past my glasses and ran inside and flushed it. I like the idea of disconnecting it and throwing on the new one on the most recent disconnected, then the next, very smart and will save some gas while your at it. There will be quite a bit of gas going to be in the filter so get ready to turn the intake of the filter (from the gas tank fitting side) downward therefore it wont spill on you.
