If the '04 model is anything like the '00 you will need a trim removal tool to pry out plastic rods that hold the panel that covers the filter.

I'll second that. I tried doing this with just a flathead screwdriver and ended up ripping several of the plastic push rods off.

What about the tool needed to remove the fuel lines from the actual filter?
