Take off your driver side engine cover. At the front end of the fuel rail there is a shrater (sp) valve, like on your tires. Remove cap, set a large rag there (to catch gas), depress valve. Gas will squirt out.
Still watch your eyes, as some gas will drain when replacing filter. Also push fuel filter together, use tool, and then pull apart. You can release using fingers also.

That is what I'd do.
