I couldn't find any and I just got my walbro 255lph pump. I am ready to install with the kit but I would like a little walthorugh to make sure I do everything right

dude coem on you need a freakign write up for changing a fuel pump. its not hard. move rear carpet, take out the 4 screws from metal plate, then remove the i think 8 screws holding the pump in. take it out, try to make sure not to spill anything in tank becuse when i did mine there was sand around that aera. then unboolt the fuel pump form the rest of the stuff, and but new walbro back in. and put new filter that should have came with the walbro, then put back together.

this isnt an exact write up but what i remembered off the top mf my head. its pretty strait forward though.

Dude, come on...

No you dont remove the fuel tank..

disconnect battery
Lift up carpet
REmove cover screws
lift cover
remove tank bracket screws
lift assembly out of tank
replace pump

Installation is reverse of removal.

BUY A HAYNES MANUAL!

No. Once you remove the plate underneath the carpet in the hatch, the cover/holder thing for the fuel pump with fuel lines going into it will be visible. You can take the pump out from there and then when swapping in the new pump hook neg to neg, pos to pos (you can check on the current pump) and basically hook it up the same way it is now. Very simple.

lol, my bad, sorry guys I didn't know it was THAT easy. Thanks for your quick responses, don't be fooled by the 1k+ posts, when it comes to something I don't know, Im not afraid to ask for help. Thanks again!

ok,specifically which carpet is it that I have to remove and on what side is it? Thanks

gergrx7

its on the left side(driver)

Rear carpet in the hatch area, the plate will be on the drivers side where wrapped wires are coming out of which go to a plug (which you have to unplug btw) in the drivers side strut tower.

Bah I never unplugged it when I put my walbro in.

The metal plate is on the drivers side rear.
Once you get all those screws out slowly pull the pump out.

You will probably have to move it in a few angles to get the assembly out.

Once out just unscrew the 2 wires going to it.
VERY hard to mix up.

put the sock on the walbro and put the clip on the end to hold the filter on.
pull the old pump out.

Put the new one in with the supplied rubber boot(don't want it to ground through it)

Connect the fuel line to it and put wires back on.
Red == positive and Black == negative.

I believe the negative just connects to the assembly bracket.

I did this in 15 minutes and never did something like this before.

once I found it I did it in about 15 minutes as well, but now when I put all my stuff back my gas meter doesn't work. It just displays empty. Im guessing I must have done something wrong, so I will tyake it apart tommorrow and check it out. Anything to look for?
