I'm not really sure what you are referring to? Can you post a picture of what you are trying to do?

Did you receive a set of instructions with your pump?

Its not the filter for the pump that went on easy,its the sock for the venturi fuel pickup at the bottom of the assembly 1/2" round metal looking thing.Racetronics directions are outstanding have no problems with that.

We carry it:

When removing that filter sock, use a small flat blade screw driver to gently separate it from the bottom of the bucket. Usually you cannot just pull it off, it will just tear the filter sock.

I believe we spoke yesterday morning.
You are welcome to call me back to discuss in more detail.

Not sure how to solve your problem as you are putting GM parts together & they do fit. I've probably put 100 of these on with no problem.

If you want I can assemble it for you... please call to discuss the details.
