Default Fuel filter

Does anyone have or know of a how to on replacing the fuel filter on a 2003 2 wheel drive? I know its under pressure bu thought there might be some tricks someone can share. I bought the filter and tool to do this from Autozone and have done this years ago on a 2001 but like I said just wondering if there are any tricks. I did a search but couldnt find much
Thanks

Same as others, use tool to unlock spring lock clamp. Put tool around filter nipple close to connect line, put tool in, push, and sort of twist some times. Pull on fuel line and watch for gas to come out. It doesn't burst under pressure or anything like that. Just as soon as you disconnect line, just move to let gas come out. It will stop quickly and evaporate.
