Pull the fuse on it and depressurize the fuel system for saftety.

1. Open Gas Cap
2. Pull Fuel Pump Fuse
3. Start car and let it run till it dies.
4. Crank car over for 10 seconds, it should not start.

Scorps advice to depressurize system is good to do before you start. I had mine in and out 3 times, shouldn't take more than an hour tops. Good Luck!

Remember its a good time for a new strainer, gasket and fuel filter and youll want to cover the rear bumper. Easy job.
