just note the direction of flow mate, then disconnect all the pipes, sometimes manufacturers will change things to meet up with regulations and shit or just maybe the part was chaper at the time

will no fuel be going through the filter at all unless the pump is primed?

So i know i can give it a good pull then without be worried of getting covered in petrol lol

pipe might just slide off mate, sometimes the pipe on the filter is ribbed ;), the white clip is more than likely to just push in and release
