just trip the inertia switch on the passenger side side wall, it will kill the power to the pump.

Take out the fuel pump relay in the power distribution box. Go to autozone.com, repair manual area for a picture of it.

Both will work (see above). To elaborate on the inertia switch... pull the carpeting back on the passenger side under the glove box. There is a switch there. I believe you depress the red button on the top to release the pressure. It can be reset when you are done. If I recall correctly this is a safety switch which cuts the fuel flow in case of accident. It works well for fuel pressure release.

The relay in the Power Distribution Box is easy too. They should be labelled (look under the lid of the PDB).

Don't forget your little tools for the fuel filter. You need those clip releasing tools for this job. The filter being underneath on the frame rail usually means the releases are stubborn.
