To replace the fuel pump in a 1996 Pontiac Bonneville, first, disconnect the negative battery cable and relieve fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump relay and starting the engine until it stalls. Next, lift the vehicle and remove the fuel tank by disconnecting the fuel lines, electrical connectors, and securing straps. Once the tank is out, access the fuel pump by removing the retaining ring on the top of the tank, then replace the old pump with the new one, reassemble the tank, and reconnect everything before testing the system. Always ensure proper safety measures and refer to a repair manual for detailed instructions.
