Default Walbro Fuel Pump

I replaced the fuel pump in my 99 FRC in July. Last weekend it started
screaming loud enough that people in the next car could hear it. The fuel level has never been under 1/4 full. I got it from OnlyFuelPumps and it's supposedly under warranty but I've had no success in contacting them. I repaced the entire module. Can you replace just the pump motor and does anybody know what to use or has experience doing it? I know it can be done, just looking for numbers and suggestions. The Big Bend Open Road Race is just around the corner and I have to get on this. Thanks!!!

Just replacing the pump part itself is entirely possible, as per the walk through the previous poster linked to.

I have done it myself, and it is pretty straight forward.

Yes, that is what I did before. The OnlyFuelPumps unit is exactly the same item as the Lingenfelter unit in the link. I was wondering about a part number for the pump motor itself sans all the white plastic housings and such...$75 or so less it seems. Thanks again.
