2000 1999 Fuel Pump Removal / Filter

I just removed the external fuel pump from my 2000, the last year of the fuel pump outside of the fuel tank, to change the fuel hoses and filter.  The shop manual does not say to do it, but save your self a lot of time and aggravation by removing the fuel tank rather than just propping it up.  I split the insulation boot on the left side and Velcro strapped it back when done.  I then removed the left fuel pump bracket only.  Leave the fuel pipe in place and just undo that screw.  Lower the pump from it.  The pressure relief bolt washer is $12 and takes a long time to get; I suggest you leave that alone.  The filter cover screws strip very easily and are very tight.  If you want to reuse them you may be better off breaking them loose with a small vice grip.  I replaced mine with cap screws.
