at the top of the passenger floorboard, pull the carpet back and there is an inertia switch, unplug the 2 wire plug from it and that will cut off power to the fuel pump

crank over engine and let run till it dies. fuel pressue is now relieved
 
Or you can relieve it at the schrader valve on the fuel rail on the intake. It looks just like a valve stem on a tire, just push the middle pin in and have a rag over it to catch the fuel.

actually just giving that switch a good bash will "Trip it" and open the circuit.

when you want the fuel pump back on simply push the reset button.
