Fuel pump stuff (everybody take a look)

[Cody Forbes]

I know theres a bunch of people out there on the list that have trouble for a bit with getting the fuel pump out of the 5k's and others that use the in tank tripod mount. I figured some well lit photos may help:

You'll also notice the right down where the bottom of the pump sits you can see some stuff. That stuff left me on the side of the road a week ago. Soooo many times people think they have bad pumps when it's just the crap in the bottom of the tank getting sucked up to the ultra-fine screen on the pump. It only took 15 minutes to get in the tank, suck the junk out of the bottom, clean the screen on the pump (sometimes I cut them off when I'm in the mood - not guna debate on the logic there hehe), then put it all back together.

Anyways you just need to push those clips back while moving the pump upwards on the barbs. One at a time works ok since the rubber bushing allow enough movement to move the pump up crookedly. Pretty simple when you look at it really, but the first few times I did it it was a PITA.
