You have to remove the plastic cover over the top of the fuel filter housing to get at the filter. Mine (1999 F-350) comes off by removing the caps which have hex fittings on them for a 3/8" or 7/16" open end wrench or a deep socket. The original unit on my truck had stripped studs that the caps screwed to and I couldn't remove it. It came that way from the factory and I took it to the dealer who removed it and replaced it with the undamaged studs. Once you get the cover off, you can use an old fan belt, a "boa" wrench, or an oil filter wrench to take the cover off the fuel filter housing. You should drain the water out of the filter housing also. Hope this helps you.
