On a 95-96 it is located on the left side fire wall under the windshield fluid container and the brake fluid resevoir. yank out the windshield wiper fluid canister and unbolt the brake fluid reservoir. I just changed mine last week. if infact you have a 95-96 Un tighten the bottom line first before you unbolt the braket from the fire wall. It will make things alot easier. and also use a 19 MM wrench to hold teh top and bottom of the filter from twisting while removing the lines.
