NOTE:
The fuel pump removal and installation procedure for units equipped with plastic fuel tank sending unit locking retainer rings is the same for units equipped with metal fuel tank sending unit locking retainer rings. The fuel tank sending unit locking retainer ring on these units can be removed with a band-type oil filter wrench or equivalent by turning counterclockwise. When installing the fuel tank sending unit locking retainer ring, tighten ring to 40-55 ft. lbs. (54-75 N.m).
Remove the fuel tank. See FUEL TANK . Position fuel tank on a work bench and remove any dirt that has accumulated around the fuel tank sending unit and pump so that it will not enter the fuel tank. Turn the fuel pump locking retainer ring counterclockwise with Fuel Tank Lock Ring Wrench (D84P-9275-A) and remove fuel pump locking retainer ring. Remove the fuel tank sending unit and pump from the fuel tank. Remove seal gasket and discard.
