Relieve the pressure in the system by pulling the fuel pump relay and cranking/starting it
To relieve the pressure in the system of a 1993 Ford Bronco, you must first pull the fuel pump relay. You can then crank or start the engine and let it die. This will prevent gas from leaking out of the tank.
Before you begin, you should take off the gas cap to eliminate any pressure difference between the tank and the atmosphere. You should also pop the hood and remove the fuel filter relay from the fuse box. Once you have relieved the pressure in the system, you can turn on the truck to burn off any remaining fuel in the fuel system.
You can then finish depressurising the system by depressing the relief valve on the fuel rail with a screwdriver and a rag. This is because there is still residual gas and pressure in the system.
Once you have completed this step, you can put the filter back into its bracket and bolt the bracket up to the frame rail.

Remove the fuel filter relay from the fuse box
To remove the fuel filter relay from the fuse box of a 1993 Ford Bronco, first relieve the pressure in the system by pulling the fuel pump relay and cranking/starting the engine. Let the engine die. Then, pop the hood and remove the fuel filter relay from the fuse box. Turn on the truck to burn off any remaining fuel from the fuel system.
Next, finish depressurising the system by depressing the relief valve on the fuel rail with a screwdriver and a rag. This is important because there is still residual gas and pressure in the system.
After this, you can take off the gas cap to eliminate any pressure difference between the tank and the atmosphere.
Now, you can unbolt the fuel filter bracket from the frame rail. If you are a good Bronco owner, a stout dousing of PB Blaster will be required for this step. This step is not necessary, but it will give you a bit more wiggle room.

Unbolt the fuel filter bracket from the frame rail
To unbolt the fuel filter bracket from the frame rail of a 1993 Ford Bronco, you must first relieve the pressure in the system. You can do this by pulling the fuel pump relay and cranking/starting the engine, then letting it die. You should also take off the gas cap to eliminate any pressure difference between the tank and the atmosphere.
The fuel filter is held in line to the frame by a couple of screws, with the filter held in place by two little white plastic clips. You will need to unbolt the bracket from the frame rail. If you are a good Bronco owner, a stout dousing of PB Blaster will be required for this step.
Once the bracket is unbolted, you can remove the old filter and replace it with a new one. Orient the new filter with the flow arrow facing the front of the truck (the flat end will be facing front). Snap the new filter into place, one line at a time, ensuring that the retaining clips in the female ends have been engaged with the rings on the male ends.
