Question 98 explorer 5.0 fuel filter

Hi everyone, thank you all for the help and imput i have recieved over the years.

Here's another question: 98' Explorer EB 5.0, I am trying to keep it in excellent condition so i want to change all the fluids and filters that havent beent now that i am approachin 100k. Any suggestions, but specifically changing the fuel filter(fram part G3850) other than dont blow myself up . Is it located on the frame rail as i suspect, and what R&R steps should i take? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Do you have one of the repair manuals, it describes the replacement procedure.

Good Luck! It is really not as bad as it sounds, but the first couple of times seems annoying.
