UNHOOK ALL THE LINES AND IF YOU CANT REBEMBER WHERE THEY GO MARK THEY OR TAKE PICTURES, TAKE THE 2 NUTS OFF HOLDING ON THE FUEL PUMP , IT MIGHT BE STUCK SLIGHTLY FROM GASKET SEALER, GENTLY TAP IT WITH RUBBER HAMMER OR SIMMILAR ITEM, REOMVE PUMP STRAIGHT OUT, CLEAN GASKET SURFACE GOOD, INSTALL NEW GASKET WITH SEALER ( THIN COAT ON BOTH SIDES ) INSTALL PUMP STRAIGHT IN , IT MIGHT GO A LITTLE HARD THE LAST 1/2" IF THE FUEL PUMP CENTRIC IS IN THE PUMPING MODE. JUST PUSH IT ALL THE WAY STRAIGHT IN, HOLD IT IN AND INSTALL THE WASHERS, & NUTS. TIGHTEN IT DOWN ( NOT LIKE A GORILLA ) HOOK BACK UP THE LINES ( USE WD40 ON THE CONNECTORE IF NOT REAL FREE ). CHANGE FUEL FILTER. CRANK ENGINE.
