Think it's 10mm and 12mm, not sure, will have to check when I get home. Also, think someone posted the whole procedure on the TechTips.

If you have trouble getting the outlet fitting off (cat is in the way), you can loosen the plastic fuel line clamp (looks like a plug wire loom) in the engine bay, near the black coolant tank. The two flexible braided fuel lines will allow you to pull the filter and line into the engine bay and rest it on the tire. Then you can easily remove the outlet nut.

Picked up that good tip from some old threads on here.
