Vehicle up and place securely on jack
stands.
C. Remove the three 10mm hex head sheet
metal screws securing the fill pipe to the
quarter panel. (See Fig. 2-a.)
D. Place a jack underneath the fuel tank to
lightly hold pressure on the tank to assist in
the lowering of the tank and removal of the
retainment straps. (See Fig. 2-b.) When the
gas tank is on the ground unplug the fuel
pump and sensor wires, from the sending
unit.
E. Disconnect the three hoses using the sup-
plied fuel fitting removal tools (fuel feed,
fuel return and fuel vapor) up in front of the
fuel tank.
F. Twist the retainer ring that is securing the
fuel sending unit in the top of the tank. Lift
the pickup/sending unit assembly out of the
tank.
G. Carefully pry off the sock on the end of the
pump. Remove the pump from the assembly
and install the new pump (it should be a
direct replacement). Reinstall the sock on
the new pump.
H. Replace the assembly into the tank and
secure it with the retainer ring. Be certain
that the O-ring is in its proper place and that
the ring is turned all the way to its stop posi-
tion.
