Insert Fuel Pump Wrench (3307) through opening in fuel tank, turn inner section of surge housing about 15 degrees to the left. Remove fuel pump assembly through opening. Remove supply line from fuel pump. Remove power and ground wires from fuel pump.
Install new fuel pump to inner surge housing. Connect power and ground wires to fuel pump. Connect fuel supply line to fuel pump. Install fuel pump assembly through opening. Place inner surge housing into outer surge housing so that notch (1) on inner housing matches mark (2) on outer surge housing. When installing inner surge housing an audible click should be heard when housing is seated. Using fuel pump wrench turn inner surge housing about 15 degrees to the right. Notch (1) on inner housing should now match mark (3) on outer surge housing.
Connect return line and fuel level sensor harness connector to cover flange. Using NEW "O" ring seal install cover flange. Install union nut, using union nut wrench torque nut to 44 ft. lbs. (60 N.m). Connect harness connector and fuel lines. Re-install cover plate. Connect negative battery cable. Reprogram radio, clock and power windows as necessary.
