Fuel Pump Removal

Remove the 2 tube joint clips and pull out the 2 fuel tank tubes.

NOTICE:

1. Remove any dirt and foreign matter on the fuel tube joint before performing this work.
   
2. Do not allow any scratches or foreign matter on the parts when disconnecting them, as the fuel tube joint contains the O-rings that seal the plug.
   
3. Perform this work by hand. Do not use any tools.
   
4. Do not forcibly bend, twist or turn the nylon tube.
   
5. Protect the disconnected part by covering it with a plastic bag and tape after disconnecting the fuel tubes.
   

Remove the fuel tank return tube and fuel tank main tube from the fuel tank.

Temporarily install SST (plate and 4 claws) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.

SST

09808-14030

HINT:

1. Be sure to use 4 SST (claws) as shown in the illustration.
   
2. Engage SST (claws) securely with the fuel pump gauge retainer ribs to secure SST.
   

While pressing SST (claws) against the fuel pump gauge retainer ribs securely, install the 4 bolts.

HINT:

Install SST while pressing SST (claws) against the fuel pump gauge retainer (towards the center of SST).

Install SST (handle).

Lightly press down on SST to prevent it from separating from the fuel pump gauge retainer. While pressing SST, rotate the handle slowly to loosen the fuel pump gauge retainer.

NOTICE:

1. When the retainer is loosened, be careful as the fuel pump will spring upward from the force of the spring.
   
2. Do not use any tools other than specified in this operation. Damage to the fuel pump gauge retainer or the fuel tank may result.
   
3. Do not press down on SST excessively as this may make the fuel pump gauge retainer hard to rotate, and may damage components.
   
4. Make sure to rotate SST (handle) horizontally. If SST (handle) is rotated at an angle, SST may come off.
   
5. Do not spin SST too fast or use an impact wrench as this may result in damage to components.
   
6. If SST comes off of the fuel pump gauge retainer, loosen SST (bolts) and reinstall SST.
   

HINT:

The tips of SST (claws) can be fitted onto the ribs of the fuel pump gauge retainer.

Remove the fuel pump gauge retainer.

Remove the fuel suction with pump and gauge tube from the fuel tank.

NOTICE:

Be careful not to bend the arm of the fuel sender gauge.

Remove the gasket from the fuel tank.
