The fuel filter is inside the fuel tank and is meant to last the life of the fuel pump, here is how to change it out in case you still want to change the fuel filter.

Perform the fuel system pressure release procedure (Refer to 14 - Fuel System/Fuel Delivery - Standard Procedure).
NOTE:

The fuel pump module has to be properly located in the fuel tank for the fuel level gauge to work properly.

Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.

Remove the screws (1) that secure the fuel module cover (2) to the floor.

Lift up on the fuel pump module access cover and disconnect the wire harness connector (1).
Disconnect the fuel tank vapor lines (3, 4) from fuel pump module.
Disconnect the fuel line (2) from the fuel pump module.

NOTE:
Prior to removing the fuel pump module, use compressed air to remove any accumulated dirt and debris from around fuel tank opening.

Position the lock-ring remover/installer (2) 9340 or into the notches on the outside edge of the lock-ring (3).
Install a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar into the lock-ring remover/installer.

Rotate the breaker bar counterclockwise and remove the lock-ring (1).

WARNING:
The fuel pump module reservoir does not empty out when the tank is drained. The fuel in the reservoir will spill out when the module is removed.

NOTE:
Do not spill fuel into the interior of the vehicle.

Lift up and remove the fuel pump module out of the fuel tank using caution not spill fuel inside the vehicle or bend the float arm.

Remove and discard the rubber O-ring seal.
