Fuel filter question?

Are there any special tools or tips needed to change out the fuel filter on a 04 escape? Wondering if the system needs to be depressurized before removing old filter and if you need that special fuel filter wrench to remove it?

nothing fancy needed two clips to pull out and a hose clamp that holds it in the bracket so a flat blade screw driver or a 5/16 nut driver.As for preasure I do mine after they set for an hour or so or longer then there is no preasure in the lines.

I have a shop towel handy and cover the filter with it when I release the pressure. I also move my drop light to a safe location.
