5KTQ: R&R fuel pump

Looking at pictures of the fuel pump, only one line
hooks up to it, correct?

That line connects to the fuel pump check valve,
right?

Awhile bakc, a friend of mine and I removed a fuel
pump out of a 5K CS at a junk yard and if I recall
correctly, that fuel line simply connects with the
check valve without any ring/clamps holding in place.

Also, that fuel line appeared to be made out of
plastic or something, or perhaps became of such
appearance with age and because it was submerged in
fuel for so long. The point is that it was basically
impossible to pull the line out of the metal
flange--check valve--so we simply cut the line off.

If is the same set up, obviously, I won't be cutting
the line off, but will carefully remove the fuel pump
check valve instead?

Also, what does the non-sparking brass drift tool look
like and where can I get one?

Do I really need it?

I'm planning on draining the fuel tank completely
before removal of the pump.

Thanks again,

Louis
