Hey guys!

I'm trying to swap a new fuel pump and it's quite the pita. I know how to swap them, but everything is in the way of getting the back bolt out (closest to the firewall)

I got both bolts out, but I'm definitely not spending an hour on the back bolt again putting it in.

I feel like I need to remove something to make it easier, but I wasn't sure what. The pumps just hangin in there on the lines right now until I figure it out.

Do yall know of any tricks to gettin the fuel pump out?

Thanks guys! Your help is very appreciated.

It's all good.

I found out you can manage to reach a ratchet from the firwall side from above, underneath all the wiring and other stuff.

PITA, but it's running haha.

Thanks!
