Re: need help with fuel pump

Here is how I did it on my '96 Caravan 3.3. I got the rear of the car up on ramps, I used a floor jack with a sheet of ply wood (about 1/2' thick and maybe 2'x2') on the jack foot I put pressure on the tank, then I released the retaining straps and lowered the tank just enough to access the fuel pump retaining nut. I then removed the electrical connector (there is a red horse shoe shaped clip that has to be pulled back to remove the electrical retainer), and using a rubber strap wrench I unscrewed the retaining nut. With nut off I pulled pump out of the tank, removed the fuel filter feed lines, and reversed procedure and put in a new pump (from Advance). After all is hooked up I started her up and looked for leaks (none), shut her off and jacked the tank back up, re-secured her and the3n drove her off the ramps (50,000 miles later all is well). NOTE: a Haynes manual is a great help.
