I just disconected both lines to my fuel filter and put a new one in. Got a minor amount of fuel out but otherwise it has worked fine for me a few times.

 

I've done hundreds of fuel filters and NEVER depressurized the system. Just put an oil drain pan under the filter to catch fluid, and watch the eyes incase some fuel sprays out.
