Sorry, can't help you out in location, but....a few pointers after changing mine in my Talon:

Open the gas cap to relive pressure.

I had to take out my battery to assure proper work space.

Lay down some towels under the fuel filter. That way, any fuel you leak will be soaked by the rag instead of getting all over your engine bay.

I had to reverse the removal process from what they had in my manual. My manual told me to remove the bolts that held the filter to the fire wall then the pipes from either end. When I tried it this way, I had nothing holding down the filter as I tried to remove the tight ass screws from the pipes. Remove those first, then take it off the mount. It will be much easier that. way.

In the talon, the filter was located on the fire wall to the left of the engine block when facing the engine.
