First thing you do is open the gas cap, pull the fuel pump relay in the fuse box, crank the truck a few times to release the fuel pressure. I don't mean to be picky, but safety is first.

Just cycle the key or actually let it crank over?
For models built prior to 2000 the filter is under the driver's side door. Crawl under the door and look to the inside of the frame and you will see an inline filter. If the truck is a 4-door it is under the rear door on the driver's side. They are easy to get to. I think the location changed a short time after 2000 and may be in the tank itself. If this is true then it renders it unserviceable. As for wrenches, I just use a 16mm and an adjustable wrench. Just squeeze your nuts real tight with the adjustable wrench and hope for the best. This always gets the job done for me. For pricing a fuel filter for a 96' Silverado I called 3 store chains. Here's what I was quoted: Advanced Auto Parts=$13, Auto Zone=$7.88, O'Reilly= $9.99.

Agreed that safety considerations are important. Great lighting and camera position. Could, however, have made the video shorter. Always love DIY videos like this.
Thanks for sharing, To keep it from spraying you should, first take off the fuel cap then Start the vehicle then pull the relay for the fuel pump and allow the engine to die to remove fuel from the system. Then shut off the key and continue with the removal.

When in doubt, trace a fuel line from the engine backwards or from the tank forward in order to locate the filter. Sometimes they can be located in the engine compartment GM is weird with that sometimes.
