Re: changing fuel pump

best advice that i can give you, is to just do it right. drop the rear end. it's not hard. i did it on my back, in my backyard in the dead of summer.

Re: changing fuel pump

I personally like my access panel myself and I have a dynamat cover for it so it is totally sealed.

no you don't, just do the access panel method instead.

why, are you looking to upgrade or just get it running again? Get yourself a walbro 255lph pump otherwise

Re: changing fuel pump

You can ditch the bucket and use hose clamps to put eveything together, my Walbro 255 pump was plug & play for wiring this was on my 96' Camaro. Just make sure you get everything tight or you'll be dropping the tank again if you go that route or just doo the access panel which takes 15 min. at most to get in and out to check the pump once the access door is cut.

Re: changing fuel pump

I've dropped the tank without dropping the rear, and I didn't cut an access panel. It's a real squeeze but I got it done in about 1 1/2 hours. Jus make sure you have someone to bend the filler tube when you're trying to pull the tank.

Re: changing fuel pump

if you ever have to mess with your pump again, try the access panel idea out, it only took me about 20 minutes to cut it out, put the new pump in and seal it. That way it'll be easier for any maintenance purposes later on.
