Any suggestions about putting in a fuel pump?

I am putting in a fuel pump tomorrow is there anything I should know, or be ready for? I have all the gromets gaskets etc.

Be ready for it to be a pain in the ass. Also make sure the lock ring is really tight when you lock it up otherwise it could leak. Lube up the filler neck grommet to ease install. It helps greatly to have an extra person. Also make sure it's really low on gas or it's going to make things a lot harder.

make sure that damn tank is as close to empty as possible

haha yeah. When I did mine it only had a tiny bit of gas in the bottom, if it had a couple gallons in it it would have been a lot more difficult.

Does anybody happen to remember what size tool you need to get the fuel lines off the pump? I have been trying the 3/8 but is not working.
