Hello,

On this vehicle you will have to drop the fuel tank to replace the fuel pump.
Keep in mind that it is easier to do this task with the fuel tank empty/near empty.

I have attached the fuel pump procedure as well as the fuel tank removal procedure for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
