Those would be the locations the filter would be at.



You will need a special tool though, Goto a parts store and ask for a fuel filter removal tool. They make plastic ones, but I prefer the one that looks like scissors as it 4 sizes on it. Basically, look at those photos and you will see the a%26quot;bell%26quot; at the end of each line. You need to put this tool around the stem of the filter and wiggle it into the bell, then push forward (up against the filter) as you are pushing the tool into the bell, then pull the line off. Sounds hard but quite easy, slide the tool back with the bell end of the hose.

Do that for both ends!

As for putting it back on, be sure no orings slipped out. and just (without the tool) slide the hoses back on until you here them click, pull back just to make sure its sealed.

When you first release the line, go slowly as pressure will be built up in the line. let that blead off and then pull it off the rest of the way.



ANother way to relieve the pressure would be to look for the %26quot;shrader%26quot; valve (looks like the valve on your tire you put air into) on your motor, its the fuel rail that runs to your injectors.

Remove the cap and push in on the vale while keeping your face away. that will relieve the pressure in the gas line.

Hope this info helps
