Start the engine and wait until fuel in fuel line is exhausted. After the engine stalls, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
Disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal.
Disconnect the fuel feed hose and the fuel return hose.

Unfasten the bolts (6) and remove the fuel pump assembly from the fuel tank.
Remove the fuel filter holder and disconnect the connecting hose and the cable assembly, and then remove the fuel filter & pump assembly.
