It is easy to change. It is under the car, near the fuel tank and also just in front of the right rear wheel. It will probably be easier to do it with the right rear wheel on a ramp or jack stand but I have done it without.
The fuel system is pressurized. I don't usually bother releasing he pressure but if you would feel more comfortable you can look for the fuel pressure tap on the fuel rail on the engine . It looks a little like a valve stem from a tire with a screw on cap. Remove the cap and depress the valve (like a tire valve) with a small screwdriver or similar tool and allow the pressure to release. There will be a small amount of fuel. It usually doesn't squirt very far, but watch that you don't get it in your eyes.
From under the car, the filter is held in place with a large hose clamp. Loosen the clamp to access the filter. The filter is attached to the lines with white plastic clips. Pull the clips out with a small screwdriver and remove the filter. Even with the pressure relesed there will be some fuel spilled so don't get driectly under the filter unless you want a gasoline shower. Pay attention to the arrow on the old and new filters so that it is installed in the correct flow direction. The new filter comes with new clips. Install the new clips in the lines first and then push the filter nipple into the line until it locks. Reinstall the hose clamp retainer and you're done.
