any one give me a idea to get this damn fuel pump out without raking something..

does it turn, spin magically come out...

thanks in advance

 

There is a threaded ring around the outside of the pump, you must remove that first, it spins counter clock wise. Problem with that is, it can be a bitch and most the time will break in the process. When I worked on mine I went to the dealership and bought a new ring before I even started the work just in case. Once the ring is off the pump comes right out.

 

counter clock wise..... alright im on the right track.

i have been doing that but i started reading about a tool and **** and got all confused

 

^ getting the necessary tool will make it loads easier.

 

yeh i here that its a pain i nthe *** haha

 

Big flat screwdriver and mallet, tap the lugs counterclockwise, gently.

There are some little 'ears' that prevent the ring turning, make sure they are pulled away from the edges.

The tabs are a lot stronger than they look, but the dealer wants $70+ for a new ring.....

Stealth is right on, we use a flat tip screwdriver and mallet to remove our on the race cars. Make sure once you remove it though, you check to make sure the o-ring that sits under it is free of cuts so you get a good seal once you re-install it.
