the fuel pump is under the rear seat passenger side. There is a cover and easy access to the pump and filter. You can yank the back seat off in 15 seconds and then scout around for the cover. Unbolt and look under to see if the pump is easily accessible.

Hope it helps. I had to cut the floor under the seat of a GMC Yukon. Most cars you have to drop the tank. The ls makes a hard job simple.

Thanks, I was told be someone that I have to empty the fuel lines, how should I go about doing that? Also know to disconnect the battery when I go to replace the fuel filter.

Has anyone changed their fuel filter and discovered that it was dirty/clogged up? I recall seeing an LS430 fuel pump/filter disassembly on a Russian forum and the filter looked rough, but it was all in Russian and I don't know the circumstances. Just curious how clean premium/top tier fuels are in North America and whether the fuel filter should be checked every 7-10 years/150-200k kms?
