Fuel pump replacment
Was wondering how big of a pain it is to replace the fuel pump on our cars? I am about to convert to E85 and am going to have to go with a bigger pump.

It's not the easiest tank to pull out. You'll have to drop the exhaust, pull the driveshaft, then lower the rear cradle before you can even get at the tank. Once all that stuff is out of the way, no problem. Make sure it is as empty as possilbe. The tank is really awkward because of how tight everything is around it.
I put a Racetronix pump in mine with a 2nd walbro gss342 attached to the 2nd sending unit.

Anybody got any pics of this tool? Better yet, I am sure GM makes a tool for this job. Anyone have the part# ?
EDIT: Nevermind. I found the part# J 45722
No need to use this tool. I have used a brass punch and hammer with success in cases where this tool was required. Yes it was a PITA

For hole location, google "CTS-V Fuel Leak! Fuel Pump Melting & Smoking!!"... there is a thread on another forum with pictures of where to cut the hole.
