Lifting up whole 2nd row seats to access fuel filter

Please watch the video of the job the 97 should be the same.
. 1998 2004 Montero Sport fuel filter replacement

The fuel filter is located under the 2nd row passenger seat. The seat needs to be pulled off and fuel filter is located on upper tank.

I believe there is actually an access panel in front of the second row seat behind the drivers seat that you can access the top of the tank, fuel pump and possibly the fuel filter. Lift up the carpeting and check.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap to lower the fuel tank's internal pressure. 2. Locate access cover. 3. Remove the fuel pump & fuel filter assembly installation screws, then remove the fuel pump & fuel filter assembly from the fuel tank.

under the base of the back seat there are 2 storage compartments doors, one on either side, if you look in the footwell of the 2nd row seats you should see the small handle's, the carpet does cover them, but has been cut out around doors.
From factory there is a bottle jack in one of them, cant remember which side,
