fuel pump removal

Unless the 87s have a different style tank (I'm pretty positive they don't) you just need to rotate the lock ring to remove the pump. No special tool required
After dropping the tank I usually plug the filler neck hole with a rag and then blow the tank off with my air compressor to get rid of as much dirt and debris as possible before opening up the tank. There is a locking ring that holds the fuel pump onto the tank. In order to get the pump out you have to rotate this ring until it pops out. The ring can sometimes be kinda tight to rotate, place a screwdriver or something against the end of the ring and tap it lightly with a hammer to get it started. It shouldn't require much force.
Once you have the ring off you can then lift the pump out of the tank, but it isn't a veritcal unit, you'll have to twist and turn it accordingly to manipulate its way out of the tank. Its rather simple really. Good luck.
