thank you for the question hope this helps

The fuel filter is located (under the car) on the right rear of your car, in front of the rear tire. It is located under a protective shield that requires the removal of 4 sized 10 bolts. After removal of the shield, you will see a large beer can sized canister that is the fuel filter.

To replace
its simple, Open the gas tank first in order to release pressure in the fuel system , now you will need 2 open ended wrenches. I think they are a size 13. They both will need to be very close to each other seeing that the fuel filter connection and the fuel line connection are in close proximity. Well, put both open end wrenches on the connections, hold one still and turn the other connection that will free the fuel filter.
