yes its easy, some bolt in by where your gas door is take them out for some movement , another bolt that holds the filler tube to the gas tank, undo the straps , elec connector and fuel line drop it down and towards the drv side it will slide out , the top is self explanitory with a metal peice that need to be turned counter clock , and the assembly comes out . good luck , i pretty sure i didnt leave anything out .

Befor I'd go to the trouble of changing the fuel pump, I be damn sure thats what it is. Check your fuel pump relay for proper operation (ie. its getting voltage, has continunity, and ground) and if you can get it started check the fuel pressure like TwilightBlue5.0
said. Nothing worse than throwing parts at a car that don't fix the problem and waste your dough.
