Mine had 2 nuts to undo, some have this weird clip thing but with 1 nut.
You take the fuel pump fuse out, start it and wait for it to die, then give it one more turn. Replace filter, then put fuse back in and just do a few quick on & off motor running. |

also, usually if you leave it over night before you do it then not much fuel will come out anyway, then afterwards just turn the key on and wait till the fuel pump stops pumping, then it should start and run as normal
