The fuel pump is inside the tank and the tank has to be removed to access it. http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa448/Wrenchtech/87563684.gif The fuel filter is attached to a bracket with a hose clamp. You will need a special release tool to get the lines off. https://www.2carpros.com/images/external/ASM8027_1.jpg

You would need to remove the fuel tank to replace fuel pump. As for fuel filter, remove the lock clips. You will need a quick line disconnect. You can buy a set at harbor freight. Adding link

Good luck.
