To remove the fuel pump/sending unit assembly, start by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal. Then, relieve the fuel pressure. Next, remove the
Fuel Tank. Inside the fuel tank, the fuel pump/sending unit assembly is held in place by a lockring mechanism. To unlock it, turn the inner ring clockwise until the locking cams are free of the retaining tangs. If the rings are too tight, gently knock them loose with a soft-face hammer. Carefully extract the fuel pump/sending unit assembly from the fuel tank, making sure not to bump it into the outer lockring. Inspect the condition of the rubber gasket and replace it if necessary. Also, inspect and clean the strainer on the lower end of the fuel pump. If needed, separate the fuel pump from the sending unit by pulling the pump assembly into the rubber connector and sliding it away from the bottom support. Take care not to damage the rubber insulator and fuel strainer. For installation, insert the fuel pump/sending unit assembly back into the fuel tank and turn the inner lockring counterclockwise until the locking cams are fully engaged by the retaining tangs. Finally, reinstall the fuel tank.
