Filter is before the pump.

To depresurise the line you remove the fuel pump relay and crank the engine.

you can either just undo the banjo connecters and just let the fuel leak away or slacken the cold start injector and this will do the same. easy really,the fuel accumulator will build the pressure back up when you turn the ignition on!!

fuel filters after the pump? and just undo the banjo bolts, some petrol will come out but not too much.
