Do I have this down right?

Fuel Filter:
1. Park up on ramps if possible.

2. Disconnect battery and remove from car.

3. Open gas cap, leave off.

4. Remove fuel filter/pump cover.

5. Check hoses for hardness, if too hard, stop, replace all items and order/purchase new hoses.

6. If hoses are okay, clamp hoses with automotive clamp in two places. 1. between filter and pump, 2. from filter to engine.

7. Using two wrenches, remove one hose at a time, be prepared for leakage. Use one wrench to hold one bolt while undoing the other with different wrench.

8. Once both hoses are disconnected, remove filter.

9. Replace filter with new washers and reconnect hoses and clamps. Do not replace cover yet

10. Reconnect battery.

11. Turn on and off the ignition in order to prime the pump.

12. After about 5 priming cycles, attempt to start.

13. Once started, immediately check for leaks.

14. Replace cover if no leaks are detected.

Question:
When I am trying to twist the bolts off, which one do I hold on to and which one do I turn to remove the hose? Should I hold the bolts closest to the filter or vice versa?
