Trap Door Question
Is it possible to remove the factory fuel pump using the trap door method on a 98? I made the cuts needed and have access to the pump but one of the lines is longer and looks like it runs down to the front of the tank? At this point it doest look like it can be done.

That is the one that I used to change my pump. Also, you realize that you have to disconnect the fuel lines right?

Yeah I know but one of the lines disconnect(Pressure I believe) is not accessible. Maybe cut an L shaped door instead of a square? If I stand at the hatch facing forward, the line i cant get to the disconnect go's straight forward outta the pump, the takes a left hand turn and dissapears!

To make it easier to pull up/put in the assembly, I unhooked the float by removing a plastic lock, then depressing the tangs that held float in place. I didn't unhook it's wiring, but just having it loose helped a lot and prevented possible damage.
Another thing: see the metal clip that holds the FPR in SKI's last pic? See how it is installed with the ears up? Well mine was installed, probably at the factory, with the ears down, ate a pin hole in the flex line from the pump, caused hard starting issues.
