Not difficult at all..

If you need another pump, lemme know. I ONLY use my Walbros from LPE..

There are wayyyyy to many fake walbros floating around.. I have yet to see an LPE Walbro pump fail..

No, you don't have to drop the tank. Fuel pump can be accessed through the drivers side rear wheel well.

Check out A&A's website. He used to have a great write-up on the pump install.
