There's two 13mm bolts that hold it in, so this is an easy job. Get your 13mm wrench, some rags, and whatever tool you need to loosen the hose clamps, and... 1. Unhook the battery. Gasoline is very, very flammable. 2. Remove the two 13mm nuts that are holding the fuel pump in, and lift it off the studs. 3. Put the new fuel pump where the old one was, and bolt it in. 4. Move the hoses from the old pump to the new one. Stuff some rags under the old and new pumps to catch any spills. 5. Drain the old fuel pump into your gas tank.

How do you change a fuel pump on a 1973 beetle?
i too have a 73 super beetle and i needed a new fuel pump also. the way i did it was to simply take off and plug the fuel lines with a pencil or something and pay attention to where the hoses were on the pump. then remove the two bolts and pull the fuel pump out. pay close attention to the gaskets. i believe that there should be one between the pump and the plastic block then one between the block and engine case. pull out the rod that is in the engine case and inspect it for damage. replace if necessary now smother the rod with grease and put it back in. put the new gaskets and pump in, don't jam anything. replace the two bolts and put the fuel line back on.

How does the fuel tank work for a 1973 Dodge d100 pick-up?
there were 3 placements for the fuel tank in 73. behind the seat, under the bed, or saddle tanks. There is a mechanical gas pump which runs off the crankshaft of your engine and sucks gas out of your tank. In 73 they put the fuel filter after the pump so many times the pump needs replacing, if so put the fuel filter in front of the pump, it will last longer.
