Next to the charcoal canister against the firewall; remove the air intake hose to see it. You just need a (13mm?) posidrive spanner to get the 2 hoses off.

You will find it under the brake booster.

The bottom of the filter is a 19mm on the filter itself, the pipe nut is 14mm. As I showed Tek long ago, ALWAYS use a brake pipe spanner. If you have not got one get one as it will be cheaper than a new fuel line.

The method is

Dusable the fuel pump, run the engine until it stalls, crank a few times

Remove the induction pipe.

Use the 19mm and the 14mm to crack the nut

Undo the 2 12mm bolts that hold the bracket to the fire wall.

Remove the 14mm pipe nut and lift the fuel filter and the fuel hose up to get better access

Using 2 19mm spanners, remove the banjo bolt from on top.

Replace the 2 copper washers and re assemble in reverse
