Need help changing the fuel pump
I just got the racetronix pump, the wireing harness (plug n play) and I need help installing it. My car is up on jack stands, no rear suspension, no rear-end, and no torque tube. Does anyone have any pice as to how to change the fuel pump. Thanks

This should basically explain what you are doing. The only tricky part is those screws holding the fuel pump assembly in. Once removed I recommend using regular bolts. Oh and the quick disconnects, just squeeze the plastic tabs towards each other and pull the lines off. Once you get the assembly out enough, be sure to disconnect the float. You will understand how to once you see it.

This is the easiest thing on my C5 that I have done. I could change mine now in about 15 minutes.

I got it done. And it only took about 15 mins. I was asking before because I didn't want to get down and dirty with it and spend all day just to find out later that there was an easier way to do it. But like I said I got it done. No big deal. thanks for all of your help though.

Once you figure out whats going on its a very simple task. The second time is even easier
