Guy just wanted to let you know that the filler neck gromet can be replaced without removing the fuel tank. I was very happy that I did not have to drop the fuel tank for a second time after I replaced my fuel pump. Here are the steps needed to take.
1. Remove 1 bolt on tank that holds filler neck support.
2. Remove 4 bolts under car for fuel compartment seal.
3. Remove three bolts around filler neck in fuel compartment, first remove fuel cap to access.
4. Remove 4 bolts around outer diameter of fuel compartment. 2 bolts for fuel door, and 2 on apposing side.
5. Push down on filler neck in compartment to break seal free.
6. Wiggle filler neck and twist and pull. With little effort you will be able to completely remove filler neck from fuel tank.
7. Replace grommet. Use Vassoline to lube up new grommet for easy installation.
8. Reassembled in reverse order
