Fuel Pump Assembly Removal:
A.
Thoroughly clean all dirt and debris from the top of the fuel
tank.
Clean out any dirt from around the fuel pump
assembly and retaining nuts.
This must be done to
prevent dirt or foreign material from falling into the fuel
tank upon removal of the fuel pump assembly.
B.
Remove the fuel pump assembly mounting nuts and
carefully remove the assembly from the fuel tank.
C.
Set fuel pump assembly aside.
3.
Fuel Pump Replacement:
A.
The electrical connections from the pump assembly to the
pump itself, may attach in one of two ways. There may be
a snap fit, plug type connector, or there may be ring
terminals attached to the pump with screws and nuts.
Disconnect the electrical connections from the pump; be
sure to note the polarity of the wires.
B.
Many vehicle pump supports have a L-shaped bracket
that is attached to the pump support with a screw and a
lockwasher. Loosening the screw and removing the pump
support allows the fuel hose to be removed from the pump
body, and for the pump to be removed from the bracket
easily. If the pump support and L-shaped bracket are
separate, remove the screw, and remove the pump
support, pump, fuel hose, and fuel clamps from the
bracket
(See Fig. 9)
. If they are not separate, cut the fuel
hose and remove the clamps, fuel hose pieces, and fuel
pump from the pump support.

Install the new fuel filter onto the pump. Secure the filter
to the pump by pressing the retainer onto the center post
of the pump
(See Fig. 10)
.
Some applications may
require placing the pump into the pump support before
installing the filter.
