Best Answer

Open trunk, lift up the matting and in the middle you will see a round hole about 3"-4"

There is a wire attached to it.

Unscrew the wire and move out of the way.

Take a pair of channel lock pliers and open them to fit down on remaining ring.

Turn the ring about 1/4 turn and it will come lose.

There is a gasket under that, be careful not to loose it.

Lift the sending unit right out of the tank and replace.

**When you put the new unit in, be sure to face the arm the same way as the one you took out.**

Replace rubber gasket and carefully twist the locking ring back on.
