You can do this by checking that the fuel pressure has not dropped below the specified value (265-314 kPa, 2.7-3.2 kgf/cm2, 38-46 psi with the Fuel Pressure Regulator Vacuum Hose disconnected and pinched).
Once you have checked that the fuel pump and regulator are working, you can begin to remove the fuel tank unit. First, make sure that you are working in a well-ventilated area, and keep any open flames away from your work area. Do not smoke while working on the fuel system. You should also be careful to keep a safe distance between any tools and the battery terminals.
Now, you can begin to disconnect the fuel lines. First, rotate a wrench counterclockwise to loosen the bolt, and then remove the fuel line by hand. Next, remove the 14 mm bolt from the bottom fuel line, and then the 17 mm Banjo bolt from the upper fuel line. Finally, use a 10 mm flare nut wrench to unfasten the two bolts from the clamp that hold the fuel filter in place.

First, make sure that you are working in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes. Do not smoke while working on the fuel system, and keep any open flames away from your work area. Be careful to keep a safe distance between battery terminals and any tools you are using.
Before beginning any work, make sure that the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator are functioning properly. You should only replace the fuel filter when the fuel pressure drops below the specified value (265-314 kPa, 2.7-3.3 kgf/cm2, 38-46 psi with the Fuel Pressure Regulator Vacuum Hose disconnected and pinched).
When disconnecting and reconnecting fuel lines, use a wrench to loosen and tighten bolts, and always make sure that connections are secure. Be careful not to damage any fuel lines, as this could lead to a leak. If you notice any rotted fuel lines, do not attempt to repair them yourself; take your car to a mechanic.
