Should just need a 1/2" ratchet to take the pressure off of the spring tensioner. Fuel filter should be located along the frame rail or somewhere inline. It will be on the fuel line after the tank and before the fuel rails for sure lol.

The fuel filter is located right infront of the fuel tank. You will need a standard screwdriver and a Spring Lock release tool that you can get from Kragen or Autozone.

behind it i believe, right before the rear axle, oh and heres a tip, take the fuse out of the fuel pump then start the car tilll it dies, then you wont have to worry about gas squirtingin your face
