How to change fuel pump?

[97RedGT]

I have a loud whining noise coming from the rear of the car. It sounds like its coming from the passenger side of the fuel tank, so i'm pretty sure its the fuel pump. How hard is it to change these things? I can't find my haynes manuel at the moment so can someone help me out.

Yea that was a great help, just sucks reading what has to be done...

kinda makes you wish you had a 05 up with the thing where you can pull it out while its still in the car lol.

On the flip side though, I think it was J.R. that said that you can cut like a little square in the car that way that you don't have to drop the tank anymore, just pop the square off and work on it... i think you can put it back "together" with like sylicone or somthing...

dropping the tank takes all of 10 minutes though?

Have you done a fuel pump before?

yea if its empty... try taking that thing out when your pump fails with a full tank :nonono:

Yeah Matt's on crack it takes a helluva lot longer than 10 minutes. Trust me, I've done it twice. It is a huge pain in the butt. And you can't use a syphon hose- I tried that too

really, i used a smaller diameter hose... its clear so i know when to stop sucking and let it go. I call it my Georgia Credit Card :dancing6: just don't let people catch you taking their gas haha

Ive done it both with a full gas tank, and an empty gas tank. I have dropped it and it took all of 10-20 minutes!
