Okay....I just answered the other post so read that as well & answer it.
 
The filter is behind the drivers side front wheel. With the wheel removed you have easy access to the back half of the fender liner. There are 5 plastic plugs that hold this in place. Remove all 5 plugs and then pull the rear half of the liner from the wheel well.You can now see the fuel filter bolted to the wheel well.
 
Replacing Fuel Filter

Were you succesful in replacing your fuel filer? My 04, 38K has been running rough lately and my first attempt to correct the issue will be to repace the fuel filter. Estimates have been running around $90, but I'd rather fix it myself if possible.
 
When I changed the fuel filter on my Mercury Sable, I had to disconnect the fuel pump fuse and start the car until it died. This removes all the pressure in the line, otherwise I would have had a huge mess. You should get some detailed instructions before attempting this.
