Tools Required

J 44017 Fuel Tank Lock Ring Remover

1. Remove the fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Removal.

Notice: Clean all fuel pipe and hose connections and surrounding areas before disassembling to avoid possible contamination of the fuel system. Spray the fuel pump module cam-lock ring tang with penetrating oil prior to attempting removal.

2. Disconnect the fuel lines from the fuel pump module.




Notice: To prevent retainer damage, do not attempt to remove the retainer with a 12 in. or shorter ratchet/breaker bar.

3. Use the J 44017 and remove the fuel pump module retaining ring. A 1/2 in. breaker bar, approximately 45.7 cm (18 in) long, will easily loosen and remove the lock ring.




Notice: 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 degrees.

4. Remove the fuel pump module.

Important: Always replace the fuel pump module to the tank seal, O-ring, whenever the assembly is removed.

5. Discard the fuel pump module to the tank seal.
6. If the sender unit is not being replaced, remove the fuel level sender. Refer to Sender Unit and Float.

1. Install the fuel level sender onto the fuel pump. Refer to Sending Unit and Float.
2. Install the new fuel pump with the level sender and the new fuel pump-to-tank seal. Ensure that the orientation tabs are aligned.



3. Use the Fuel to install fuel pump lock ring.



4. Connect the fuel lines and the wiring harness.
5. Install the fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Installation.
