Fuel pump replacement
Hi, Im going out to buy a rx7 gen2 and the owner says the only thing wrong is the fuel pump is broken, so Im taking a working one out of one of my cars to test the car out before i buy it. Never taken one out or put one in before. Can some one lead me to a site with pictures and instructions? or provide some for me... Ive been search with little to no luck for the last 4 hours searching on my own.
thanks

i dont have any pictures but i can explain how its done . first you take off the the plate in the back under the carpet on the drivers side . 4 screws . then you remove the fuel lines , 2 of them (mark them so you know wich one goes where when you put it all back together . next unplug the terminal . then you see around 8 smalls screws . be careful with them they can be fragile , but i didnt see to have a prob with them . after unscrewing those that allows the whole unit to be pulled out . you gotta kind of take it out at an angle . once you have it all out look for a screw on the bottom . unscrew that . then disconnect the positive and negative terminals . then all you gotta do is wiggle the old one out . put the new on in . hook up the terminal , screw in the bracket that holds the fuel pump in . drop the unit back in . make sure the 2 rubber nubs on the gasket push completly through the alignment holes . then put the screws back , the plug , and the fuel lines . and thats basically it . sorry for this cheesy as write up but it is pretty easy and self explanatory. let me know if theres something you dont understand.
