Procedure
- Run the tank low first. Depressurize the fuel system: pull the fuel pump fuse, crank until the engine dies, then disconnect the battery.
- Fold the rear seat, pull the access cover, and photograph every line and connector before touching them.
- Release the quick-connects with the right disconnect tool - forcing them cracks the plastic hats that cost more than the pump.
- Unscrew the retaining ring, lift the hanger slowly and tilt to keep the level-sender arm safe. Drain the hanger's fuel into a container.
- Swap the pump on the bench exactly per the kit instructions - correct sleeve, new sock filter, and the supplied wiring/clips. Reuse nothing rubber.
- Drop the hanger in with a NEW tank seal, ring torqued/clocked to its marks, lines clicked until they physically lock, connectors home.
- Key on-off three times to prime, check for seepage with your nose and eyes before starting, then start and re-check under the cover after a short drive. Note for tuned cars: a higher-flow pump can lean-shift idle trims - mention it to your tuner.
Work at your own risk. Torque values and procedures vary by vehicle — always confirm against the factory service manual for your exact model.
