How do i get the fuel pump out ?

[BRUN]

ive got an uprated fuel pump i want to fit, and ive just gone to fit it, but, how do i get the old one out....

i presume the black ring just unscrews ?......anti clockwise yes ?

mine wont budge, should i try some WD40 or will that not do anything ?

also i presume those 3 pipes need undoing before it will come out ?

will i not end up with fuel all over my back seats, and me

also i presume those 3 pipes need undoing before it will come out ?]yes u need to unclip them all, one pipe will have pressure in it so get plenty rag and cover it up when u pop the pipe off

as above

and make sure you re-fit tight as when mine was replaced it leaked with a full tank and took 3 attempts to fix it.

Garage kept saying it will break if they go any further but they got there in the end lol.

Some are located inside the tank.

forgot to mention, as soon as u take the plastic ring off and pull the pump out make sure u put the ring back on as they can deform!

ill try the screwdriver trick

will get a new seal i think before i attempt it, make sure it doesnt leak

its been there 12 years so im sure it could do with a new one
