To take out the tank filter, drain the tank by disconnecting the fuel line and draining into a bucket or 2. Its easier to do if the tank is almost empty. In the bottom of the tank you will see a large recessed hex, about 23mm. This is the bottom of the filter, actually it is more of a screen. Screw it out after the tank is drained and clean if dirty, it doesn't have to be replaced. If you don't have an allen wrench that fits, you can use the head of a bolt and turn the bolt with a Vice Grip pliers.
Replace the filter, reconnect the fuel line and put the fuel back in the tank and you are finished.
I forgot to mention that this job is easier with the car up an a lift or over a pit. But it can be done by backing the car to where the rear end is hanging out over some type of drop off. If none of these are available backing onto ramps might work. You need enough clearance for the bucket.
