Electrical Fuel pump removal

Hi

We have had a bit of a bad day today trying to remove the fuel pump on my cabby  

Can anybody provide some step-by-step instructions on how to remove the fuel pump  :redfaced:  

We managed to drain the fuel tank and removed 1 of the electical wires (couldn't reach the second one?  :dontknow: ) there seemed to be brake cables running underneath the pump, which prevented the pump bracket to drop out.

Is it really this difficult or am I doing something wrong    :dontknow:    :dontknow:

Anywhoooo, instructions would be greatly appreciated  

Thanks, Vicky

yeah the handbrake cables do get in the way, unbolt the bracket/basket completely, remove the basket, then you need to tilt the whole lot down at the end with the wires, and try get it past the handbrake cable.

Thats how I got mine out anyway!!

not hard just a bit fiddley if ya not done it b 4 . i did mine today { see wat did u do to yr mk1 today } it took 2 hours . i undid all pipes first which drains the tank . then u can get to elec connections easier . then undo the cradle .its now out . refit is reverse only thing to look out 4 is make sure u put pump in the rite way up so pos connection in nearest to the sill . be ready to get fuel all over the place its still in the pump and the lines .

Hope you disconnect the battery leads first !!!!
