They are fairly simple to change even for the inexperienced mechanic. To start off try to make it so your tank is about empty. Unbolt the nozzle that runs from the fill in to the tank. There will be two straps hold the gas-tank up. Unbolt those two straps and down comes the tank. Now Undo all the hoses and fittings. Be careful not to brake the plastic fittings. Then you will have a metal ring holding the pump down. easy way to get this off is using a hammer and a punch to unscrew it. Once that is unscrewed pull out the fuel pump. When you get your new one wiggled on down there make sure it goes inside that holder inside the tank. Replace old o-ring with new one place that metal ring back on and tighten it back up tight. slide it back under car and plug everything back in. Raise tank slightly so you have enough room to put that fill in hose back in tank and tighten that back up. Then put it all the way back up in the right spot and tighten those 2 straps back up. A safe thing to do is when you get your back end jacked up and car on jackstands is to take you jack and get a piece of wood about16 to 18 inches long and about 6 to 8 inches wide and place that on the jack and jack it up to the tank so when you undo the straps that will still hold your tank in the air and you can let it down slowly. Good Luck!
