Yeah, pay attention to how it goes, better to have a shop manual. A fire extinguisher is not a bad thing to have around. As I recall you have to de-pressurize the fuel system, but that may have been on another car.

Ohbiskits' picture doesn't look right. (What car's that from?) The fuel filter's mounted on the firewall next to the battery. There's a banjo fitting on top, with a hose going to the fuel rail. There's tubing with a flare fitting on the bottom of the filter.
There should also be a clear tube looks like it goes to the middle of the filter. But that's just clipped to the bracket, it doesn't actually go into the filter.
Open the gas cap. Put rags around the top of the filter. Crack open the smallest bolt in the top of the filter to release pressure. You'll get enough to make the rag wet, but it won't pour all over.
