Hello, my info showed the above filter, threaded fitting on one end, quick connect on the other. You need to be sure here is no pressure on the fuel system, before taking any lines loose. If the vehicle has set overnight without running or the key being cycled, the pressure should have bleed off. You still need to be aware. Loosen the gas cap, so no pressure in the tank. You see the white ears closest to the filter body, you squeeze those together, pull fuel line. I have used needle nose pliers, but, the autostore sells a cheap tool, I believe, to release that insert. if a lot of gas tries to run from the lines after disconnect, you may need to plug the line/s with something close at hand until you go back with the new filter. The filter shows to be located passenger side under the vehicle in front of gas tank. On some makes and models, where the filter is at the rear, I can remove the rear wheel to locate the filter, You just need to look.
