Fuel Pump write up with pictures
on the difficulty scale of 1 to 10 this is about a 1.5 job, right next to changing brake pads.
o wow man your cold as ice lol I know I can do it but still it would be nice to have pics just in case anything happens .
Replaced the fuel pump today. It indeed was very easy.
Only had to modify 2 things to replace the stock pump with the Walbro:
- clip off the original wire loom, and crimp the new connector onto it
- saw the connection off the metal tube, and place the fuel line that came with the pump onto it with a hoseclamp
Took me about an hour all in. Then turned the key and nothing... battery was low on power from trying to start her en few days ago LOL. So in came my 800cc daily beater and some jumpleads.
After 10 minutes tried again and with a huge cloud of smoke the Rex coughed back to life.
Took the Rex for a drive to recharge the battery, and she drives fine again, no fuel smell in the car at all, so sealed it up good again.
Thanks everyone for the help!!!

Here is a thread with some good pics and sources for some of the parts, not a DIY but a good resource.
