Note: Refer to the warning note in Section 1 before proceeding.
Removal
1. Disconnect the battery negative terminal (refer to "Disconnecting the battery").
2. For access to the fuel pump, fold the rear seat cushion forwards.
3. Using a screwdriver, carefully prise the plastic access cover from the floor to expose the fuel pump. Where two access covers are fitted, the pump is located under the righthand cover.
4. Disconnect the wiring connector from the fuel pump (see illustration). Tape the connector to the vehicle body, to prevent it disappearing behind the tank.
9.4. Disconnect the wiring connector, then release the fuel feed and return hoses (arrowed) from the fuel pump
5. Mark the hoses for identification purposes, then slacken the feed and return hose retaining clips. Where crimped-type hose clips are fitted, cut the clips and discard them; replace them with standard worm-drive hose clips when refitting. Disconnect both hoses from the top of the pump and plug the hose ends (see illustration 9.4).
6. Noting the alignment marks on the tank, pump cover and the locking ring, unscrew the ring and remove it from the tank. This is best accomplished by using a screwdriver on the raised ribs of the locking ring. Carefully tap the screwdriver to turn the ring anti-clockwise until it can be unscrewed by hand (see illustration).
9.6. Unscrew the locking ring...
7. Carefully lift the fuel pump assembly out of the fuel tank, taking great care not to damage the filter, or to spill fuel onto the interior of the vehicle. Recover the rubber sealing ring and discard it; a new one must be used on refitting (see illustrations).
9.7a.... then lift out the fuel pump...
9.7b.... and recover the rubber sealing ring
8. Note that the fuel pump assembly is only available as a complete assembly; no individual components are available separately.
Refitting
9. Ensure that the fuel pump pick-up filter is clean and free of debris. Fit a new sealing ring to the top of the fuel tank.

10. Carefully manoeuvre the pump assembly into the fuel tank, aligning the mark noted on removal.
11. Refit the locking ring, tightening it so that its mark is correctly aligned with the line on the fuel tank, as noted prior to removal (see illustration).
9.11. When refitting, tighten the locking ring until it is correctly aligned with the fuel tank mark (arrowed)
12. Reconnect the feed and return hoses to the top of the fuel pump, using the marks made on removal to ensure that they are correctly reconnected and securely tighten their retaining clips.
13. Reconnect the pump wiring connector.
14. Reconnect the battery negative terminal and start the engine. Check the fuel pump feed and return hose unions for signs of leakage.
15. If all is well, refit the plastic access cover and fold back the rear seat cushion.
