Not knowing what engine we are referring to, I am assuming 4.2L I-6.

Passenger side near front of engine. Will have 2 (normally 1 steel, 1 nylon) lines attached to it. It is mounted to the engine block with 2 bolts.

Disconnect negative battery terminal when engine is cold. Disconnect the two lines from it. One is steel and uses a flare fitting (output to carburetor), unscrew the fitting (some fuel may drain from line). Remove the other line (usually a nylon hose & hose clamp), this is the input line from the tank. Remove the to bolts on the pump's mounting flange and remove the pump. New pump is installed in the reverse of the removal procedures. Use a new gasket with the new pump. I normally use silicone form-a-gasket #2 on both the engine block and pump prior top assembly to assist in ensuring no oil leaks. Is also recommending to replace the fuel filter, and the input line if it is nylon, and with new hose clamps.

If you are replacing because the mechanical pump failed, insure that you do not have gasoline in your engine oil (you can normally tell by smelling the dipstick if it smells at all like gasoline, then you do). a large amount of gasoline in the oil will make the oil feel tacky, not slippery as well. Any gasoline in your oil, time for a complete oil change and filter before running this engine! Mechanical pumps commonly fail by getting a hole in the pump diaphragm, thus allowing gasoline to leak into the engine crankcase.
