Fuel Pump Removal Tool- 1995 Audi 90 Q

[Robert Myers]

It took a few hours of laying in the trunk with my left hand immersed 
in gasoline up to mid forearm to figure it out.  (Not fun.)  The 
ex$penSive Audi $pecific tool is not required.

There are some roughly triangular plastic latches which can be pushed 
out of the way enough to relase one side of the fuel pump and then 
working on the other side you can also push that latch out of the 
way.  Then the FP just lifts out of the tank.   The trick is to keep 
a little lift on the FP with the power cable/fuel hose grouping to 
hold what you get with the first catch while working on the second one.

I can send pics if you'd like but if you have the pump out you can 
probably see the catches.
