pump is in the tank, not hard to change.

or you can install in-line pumps that are outside the tank too.

Lil advice, make sure the tank is empty and those clips on the fuel lines going into the tank be very careful with them all you have to do is pop the clip off and then the lines come free. Remember to use a brass chisle when hammering the pump hold down ring off then its like 1.2.3 its about a 6 out of 10 on the hard scalke

I used a block of wood. Also get yourself a can of electrical cleaner and dielectric grease. Clean all the connectors and grease them back up. Be careful when your taking the filler tube out of the tank, if you tear the gasket you have to order a new one cause its not sold locally. Might want to use some WD 40. While your down there change your filter. Prime it real good when your finished. You might need to jack your tail end up to get the tank out, it makes it a little easier.

PS install a 240 if you are going aftermarket as the unused fuel returns to the tank anyways and you will never have to do the job again to upgrade again !
