Open trunk. Remove spare tire and trunk carpet. Remove fuel pump access panel (1/4" socket). Unplug fuel tank pressure/vacuum sensor plug (3-wire connector). Unplug fuel pump/fuel gauge sender plug (4-wire connector). Disconnect fuel feed and return hose quick-disconnects. With a hammer and a flat screwdriver, gently tap in a counter-clockwise direction w/ increasing force on the ring/collar holding the fuel pump/sender module in place. Once the ring/collar comes loose, the spring-loaded module assembly should pop up. Gently remove the whole assembly.
Inspect/replace 4-wire plug with (usually) included, larger gauge wire harness (melting/shorting has been known to happen at fuel pump (SCARY!!)). Replace giant rubber o-ring when re-installing new module. Do all of the above steps in reverse.
Enjoy driving down the road instead of pushing your car. :-)

Where my fuel pump located on my 1992 Buick riviera
To replace the fuel pump on a 1988 Buick Riviera, first, relieve the fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump relay and starting the engine until it stalls. Disconnect the negative battery cable, then lift the rear seat to access the fuel pump cover. Remove the cover and disconnect the electrical connector and fuel lines from the pump. Finally, unbolt the pump assembly, replace it with the new pump, and reassemble everything in reverse order.

On a 1990 Buick Riviera, the fuel filter is located along the fuel line, typically mounted on the chassis underneath the vehicle. It's usually positioned near the fuel tank or along the frame rail. To access it, you may need to lift the car for better visibility and reach. Always remember to relieve the fuel system pressure before attempting to replace the filter.
