How do you replace a fuel pump on a grand am gt 2000?

Answer 1

replacing fuel pumps is not really a do it yourself job----they are electrc motors mounted in the gas tank---so first you have to remove the fuel from the tank so that when youi lower the tank it is not so heavy ---in the process of droping the tank you have to remove the straps that hold the tank to the car (usually rusty and not easily removed) then remove the filler hose--the vent hoses--the wiring for the guage and motor wires as you lower the tank---once out of the car the replacing of the actual pump is not to hard----there is a large retaining ring that secures the assemply to the tank--a punch and hammer will unlock the ring--pull out the pumkp and replace sith a new one---now the worst and most difficult part trying to lift the tank back into place while attaching all the hoses and wires at the same time--then fighting with the straps that hold it to the underside of the car not a easily done job---meanwhile the entire shop reaks of gasoling
