pull the rear seat bottom out (yank up on front edge to pop clips loose), and you'll see 2 black metal covers. Remove passenger side cover. Look at big plastic screw cap, and think your He-man arms are gonna unscrew it. Try to unscrew it. Realize you're not that strong, and go find a block of wood and a hammer to tap it loose enough you CAN do it by hand.
(BTW, those are your fuel lines coming thru the cap, you'll need to remove them, theres probably a tool, main thing is, don't break the plastic lines).
Once that cap is unscrewed, you can lift the pump out of the tank, and do what you have to to swap for the new one.
Fuel filter is in-line, under the car. Remove the black plastic underbody panel on teh passenger side and you should see it.
Actually, do the filter first, and if you still have a problem, start thinking about the pump.

the lines running into and out of the fuel filter can be removed by squeezing down with your fingers and then pull. be gentle and dont break them or you will have a mess on your hands...they are kinda tricky but once you get it is easy

good call! I totally forgot about that part. First time I took the cover off the fuel sender, it was with an almost full tank.
'Almost full?' you say, 'whats the problem?'
Well, the sender/pump covers are NOT the highest part of the tank. I pried that cap off and instantly put a gallon of gas all over myself, the underside of the car, and the parkinglot. Oops.
