Get a Hayne's/Helm's manual, which will have detailed instructions.

It is pretty obvious how to replace it, actually, just make sure you replace all the washers (which should be included with the new fuel filter) and that you don't torque the bolts down too much. I learned the hard way.

What he said. Make sure you have lots of rags or paper towel to catch the gas when you remove the bolts.

Disconnect the battery, take off the gas cap to relieve the pressure, have some rags handy, and get to work loosening the fittings. It's a pretty easy process really.

after you take the gas cap off to relive the pressure let the car sit for a few
hours so that there is no pressure in the system when you take the old filter off
