I just got a new fuel pump is it easy to change am going to try to do it myself need to change the fuel pump filter cuz everytime a make a fast left turn it clogs up any help???

 

It is very easy and streightforward.

Just dont strip the screws.

 

its a bitch to get the old screws that hold the cover on...

once they are out just run to the hardware store and replace them with galvanized hex heads...

and use a new gasket

 

Yeah the screws can be a bitch to remove. I found it easier to use an impact screwdriver, the kind they use to remove the screws on brake rotors.

 

The fuel pump is one reason I love the 2nd gen. No dropping the tank, woohoo!

 

I've done it in my school parking lot

 

Depressurize the system first. Fuel spraying everywhere isn't good...

 

^ good point...forgot about that...GAS IN MOUTH = NOT FUN

 

If you're lucky like me, the screws will be in perfect condition and unscrew easily with a screwdriver. This makes a fuel pump swap a 30 minute job. The gasket was in perfect condition too.

 

gas doesn't taste that bad...

 

Agreed...a little gas never hurt anyone.

 

yeah I did mine in 10 min. Unfortunately when attaching the walboro power wire to the small brass terminal it sheared off. Leaving me 3 threads to hold on to. I locktite'd the bolt onto the terminal.

does anyone know where I can get a replacement for that or do I need a whole new cover peice?

 

as said above, use a new gasket. DON'T use RTV, gas eats silicone..
