They left an important part out:
After you disconnect the battery, you need to release the pressure in the fuel system before taking the old filter off. The relief valve is in the engine compartment on the passenger side. It looks like a huge tire valve stem cap. There's a valve under the cap you need to press w/ a screwdriver to release the pressure. Put a few paper towels around it to catch the gas that will come out and wear goggles in case it sprays. Put the cap back on right after you do this so you don't forget later.

Also get ready for a bunch of gas to come out when you pull the filter. A bunch of paper towels and goggles will keep you good.
