if you can, try and use as much gas before working on your car. It is better to use a hoist for this job. The car needs to be jacked up, you'll need to drop the tank. There are two bolts that are used with the tank straps. Before you loosen them be sure to support the tank, with ply wood and another jack. once lowered, disconnect all fuelines and wiring. Unbolt the sending unit, pull it out of the tank slowly. replace the pump make sure there is good ventilation. keep a hose near by. Also make sure to check the fuel pump box for a gas screen, you'll need to replace itaswell. while you at it do the fuel filter

--------------------

Do NOT use a trouble light while you do this job. If gasoline hits the hot light bulb it will cause the bulb to burst and it can set the gas aflame. I use either a floursecent bulb style trouble light or a flashlight. Also use wd-40 on the gas tank strap bolts as they will probably be rusty.
