Fuel Filter
what is the quickest and easiest way to relieve fuel pressure so i can change out my fuel filter?
Would it be easier to change the filter from the underside? I looke at it and it looks like it is in a tricky place.
Thanks

The engine won't run if you pull the fuel pump fuse, it feeds other engine stuff. Locate the fuel pump connector in the boot by the LHS shock tower. Start the car and unplug the fuel pump. It'll die in 2-3 seconds with no pressure in the fuel system. Yes, you'll need to get underneath to remove the fuel filter.

Where exactly is this fuel pump connector? And what does it look like?

My vert has it in a different place, but from posts I've read if you pull up the carpet around the LHS shock tower it should be easy to see. It's got four wires.
