Default Schraeder Valve Question

I am preparing to replace my fuel filter on my 2000. This is my first time doing this. I know I need to relieve the fuel pressure at the Schraeder valve, but can someone please point out exactly where the valve is on the fuel rail? Is it the valve at the forward end that looks like a tire valve?

This is a good place to use a fuel pressure tester. I bought one to bleed/test the pressure on my father in law's Oldsmobile, and have found it to be a pretty good $40 spend. It let me bleed the fuel, and exhaust the excess out of the engine compartment and into a container (lawnmower gas can) for future use.

Then again, I seem to have a nasty tool habit...
