Shut the engine off. Depressurize the fuel system as follows:

A. Disconnect the electrical connector from the inertia switch

B. Crank the engine for about 15-30 seconds or, if the vehicle starts, until it runs out of fuel.

Raise and support the vehicle safely.
Detach the fuel lines from both ends of the fuel filter by disengaging both push connect fittings. Install new retainer clips in each push connect fitting.
Note which way the flow direction arrow points on the old filter.
Remove the filter from the bracket by loosening the filter retaining clamp enough to allow the filter to pass through.

The flow direction arrow should be positioned as installed in the bracket to ensure proper flow of fuel through the replacement filter.

Install the filter in the bracket, ensuring proper direction of flow as noted by arrow. Tighten clamp to 15-25 inch lbs.
Install the push connect fittings at both ends of the filter.
Lower the vehicle.
Start the engine and check for leaks.
