Fuel filter tool?
The Sharpie trick didn't work and Ford charged me $129.00 to change the filter.

Most auto supply stores will sell the fuel line release tools you might need..
A little FYI just in case you forgot.
Fuel injected vehicles will retain pressure in the fuel lines after shutdown. To safely remove the fuel filter you must relive the pressure in the fuel supply system.
One way to accomplish this is to remove the fuel pump fuse while the engine is running and it will run out of fuel and drop the pressure for any repairs to be done.
When completed ,reinstall the fuse and with one or two key on/ off cycles the system will pressurize.
ALWAYS double check to make there are no leaks where repairs were performed.
