Fuel pump replacement problem

Fuel pump replacement problem

Postby Poman » Mon Jul 10, 2006 4:15 pm

After all these years I finally got around to want to replace my fuel pump so I can possibly get rid of the CEL once for all. The 8 screws on the fuel bracket I just can't get them off. I got wd40, PB blaster, even bought Aerokroil (suppose to be the best) and I just keep rounding off the screw heads. It's not I don't have the proper tools. Sometimes the hardest part of upgrading for me is to loosing those damn screws. Anyone who got the fuel pump replaced had any trouble with the screws at all? I think at this point I may have cut the screws and use a flat head instead....not really fond of using a dremel tool around fuel tank... Any thought would be appreciated. TIA.

Problem solved...I must be having the over the hill syndrome again. The screws have philip head on it but it's also hexed...doh! Sometimes I figured it out myself by posting questions here... :oops:

No, mine have a 4-way screwdriver on them.. as well as the octagonal head on them. It was much easier to get those screws out with a socket and a ratchet.
