Easy technique for changing fuel pump?

well i bought a 300zx fuel pump today, pulled the fuse to drain the pump and then i realized how tough the pump actually is to reach. is there anything that needs to be unhooked or removed in order to access the pump? and if i wanted to spare myself the trouble how much would a garage probably charge to do it?

This is in the stickies.

You do mean pump and not fuel filter right?

Either way it is in the stickies, just get the car around 1/4 tank of gas and pull the rear seat, should be pretty straightforward.
