    It's up around near the diff on the driver's side.
    Remove the fuel pump fuse and start the engine, let it run until it stalls, then turn the key to start the car and turn the starter motor for about 10 seconds. This is to reduce the pressure in the system. If you don't do this, fuel will probably spray all over your face.
    To remove the fuel lines, push the hose towards the filter, squeeze the 2 tangs on the sides of the hose and then pull it off. You may need to apply a lot of force, especially if it hasn't been removed in a while.

    Best to purchase the proper quick release tool from Autobarn, Supercheap, Repco etc. - around $10. Make sure you wrap some cloth around the connectors as you are undoing them to save getting petrol sprayed in the eyes. Have a container around (eg. sump oil drain container) to catch the petrol that runs out of the filter and hoses.
