You'll probably need a set of the fuel line removal tools, should be around $5 at an autoparts store.
Here's the 5.4 steps:

Removal and Installation
WARNING:
- Do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and can be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure even when the engine is not running. Before servicing or disconnecting any of the fuel lines or fuel system components, the fuel system pressure must be relieved to prevent accidental spraying of fuel, causing a fire hazard. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- There are 2 fuel systems, an early and late build fuel system. The early build system uses a 7.9 mm (5/16 in) fuel line and connectors. The late build uses a 9.5 mm (3/8 in) fuel line and connectors. Do not interchange the 2 fuel line sizes or components because fuel leakage will take place causing a fire hazard. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.
- Release the fuel system pressure.
- Disconnect the battery ground cable.
- Disconnect the fuel filter inlet fuel tube quick connect coupling and fuel filter outlet fuel tube spring lock coupling.
- Remove the fuel filter from the fuel filter bracket.
- To install, reverse the removal procedure.

Fuel filters changes are pretty much all the same.
You can get away without letting out the pressure on the fuel rail, too. You'll just get a little spray when you disconnect.

Check out the "how to" section. It's full of good stuff. The pics are missing on this one unfortunately.
