Well for you to ask that question, im assuming you have never installed a fuel pump before.


Open the fuel tank filler door(where you add gas), remove those bolts.

Beelow, a jack or friend holding the tank as you remove the two bolts that support the straps.


The whole gas tank come down with lines attached, remove the two lines as needed and use a hammer and BRASS flat head to tap the circular ring counterclockwise.

If your used to using a metal screw driver, or if your smoking down there, I would break those two habbits.
