REMOVAL
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW SMOKING OR THE USE OF OPEN FLAMES IN THE AREA WHERE WORK ON THE FUEL SYSTEM
IS TAKING PLACE
1. Remove fuel tank.
2. Remove fuel lines and electrical connectors from fuel pump cover.
NOTE: To prevent retaining ring damage, DO NOT attempt to remove retaining ring with a 12 in. or shorter ratchet/breaker bar. Operation should be
a smooth one hand operation while holding onto the lock ring.
3. Use the Fuel Tank Lock Ring Remover SA9156E and remove fuel pump module retaining ring. A 1/2 in. breaker bar (approximately 18 inches
long) will easily loosen and remove the lock ring.
NOTE: To prevent bending of the sending unit float arm during removal, lift the pump module up slightly to disengage the orientation tabs in the
tank and rotate the module 45°.
4. Remove fuel pump from fuel tank.
IMPORTANT: The fuel pump assembly is only serviced as a module without the sender unit. The inlet filter can be cleaned with mineral spirits;
however, it cannot be replaced.
