Front end of the injection pump, where the fuel pipe bolts on. Just undo the big bolt in the middle, and pull it out. It's a bit of a PITA with a side conversion - might be worth whipping the driver's seat off first. Under the Banjo there's a steel spacer, and a total of 3 copper washers to lose so go steady. No need to remove the pipe, washers or spacer, just hold them in place. Then stick a cotton bud down the middle of the whole shebang and withdraw the gauze filter.

Yes and no

Yes, a cotton bud helps to get the filter out from the bottom of the hole. No, you don't need to bleed it
