need some help fitting a fuel pump please :)

yep thats the bad boy right there. mark those hoses so they go back in the same place when re-installing. there will be pressure in at least one of those lines when you go to take it off so the best thing to do is find you fuel pump fuse, start the car and while its running pull out the fuse and the car will run till the lines are empty then will shut off. this will save you making a mess when you pop off those lines.

thats the job, seems like a handy enough job so then
one of the lads though is just after ringing me there saying that the fuel pump is half way inside the tank, can some1 confirm this please???

best time to change is when its fairly low in fuel.. another easier tip is just pull off the plugs then try start it to drop the fuel pressure,
and when your screwing the top housing back on again make sure its threading on straight, because it is only plastic and if its cross treaded it wont seal and ul have a mess on your hands.

yep true i ment to mention that about the big black ring and seal. its very easy to put that on on the wrong thread. did it myself but twigged it time before any damage was done few.......... about the pumps postion...... that yolk with the plugs and stuff where the pipes are attached is part of the bracket that hold the pump. its a long enough yolk but the pump is attached to it so when you lift it out the pump comes with it too. easy as
