Good afternoon,

I attached the procedure and a couple pictures for you of the pump. It is in the fuel tank which must be removed.

1. Remove the fuel tank.

IMPORTANT: Take note of the positioning of the fuel tank rear shield prior to releasing the pump module pipe retainer.

3. Release the fuel pump module electrical harness from the retaining slot on the tank.
4. Disconnect the fuel pump module harness electrical connector from the fuel tank pressure sensor.

7. Slowly lift the fuel pump module assembly until the fuel level sensor float arm is just visible. Ensure that the fuel level sensor harness connector clears the tank opening.

IMPORTANT: When removing the fuel pump module assembly from the fuel tank, be aware that the pump module reservoir bowl is full of fuel. The reservoir must be tipped slightly during removal to avoid bending the fuel level sensor float arm.

8. Tilt the fuel pump module toward the rear of the fuel tank to enable the level sensor float arm to clear the tank opening. Remove the pump module from the tank.
9. Carefully discard the fuel in the pump module reservoir bowl into an approved fuel container.
10. Remove and discard the fuel pump module seal (1).

IMPORTANT: Do NOT reuse the old fuel pump module-to-fuel tank seal.
