Hi there,

you have to remove the seat base and there is a cover plate, you have to undo the electric plugs and the fuel lines, then undo the sender cover plate, the sender & pump will then be able to be withdrawn, you have to then remove the pump from the sender ass, if you have never done this type of work before, i would be getting a mechanic to do it as there are a few tricky bits involved.
