1998 sl600 full pump replacement.

Just curious if there is anything special I need to do to replace the fuel pump. I’m assuming the fuel filter is located to the right if you are looking at it from the rear. Should I replace that as well? Not a mechanic, kind of handy. This car has always intimidated me when it comes to repairs. I would take it somewhere to have it repaired but the fact that it is dripping fuel constantly is a no no. Is there anyway to clamp/plug the main full line after I remove the pump?
Much appreciated,
cheers.

Change both the filter and pump as well as the 10 mm flexible fuel lines. Get fuel rated lines.

Before performing the maintenance, run the car low on gas and let it all drain out during the fix. Have a few gallons in a gas can to refill afterwards.

It's a good idea to get everything out of the tank every so often.
