You got both lines disconnected? That's the hardest part, is this a 4 cyl or 6?

Yeah, I just did mine and the hardlines in and out were the trouble...

There are two bolts (one on top, one on bottom) that hold the mount to the frame, then another small one (10mm) that clamps the two sides of the holder around the fuel filter.
