Im assuming you want to depressurise the fuel system. Just pull the base of the rear seat up at the back and it will hinge forward (it hinges from the front) then just unplug the sender that drops into the tank from under the seat. This has the wiring for the pump. Then crack the fuel cap so excess pressure can vent and then just crank the engine a few times.
After this it should have as little pressure as possible. It will still spill a little fuel though.
As for the fuel filter you will need a socket i think and the standard one has a mount as part of it. A non genuine filter wont have a mount on it but im sure some ingenuity and a hose clamp will have you sorted. Either that or buy genuine.
Maybe try and hold the filter with vice grips and get right into the banjo bolt with all your might or even a few taps with a hammer might help free it. Inox or some similar stuff might help to free up the bolt but it may damage the sealing washers. I'd buy new ones anyways but just be careful to not bend or damage the fuel lines. I remember mine was quite difficult to remove also but i think presistance was the key.
Hope that helps
