The fuel pump is inside the tank and the tank has to be removed to access it.

The fuel filter is attached to a bracket with a hose clamp. You will need a special release tool to get the lines off.

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
