Anybody taken out their fuel pump before?

How the F does the baffle housing come out of the fuel tank without the special tool? Any tips? Thanks

i got mine out of place when installing my 044 pump and it will prevent filling up your tank. also be careful of hose placement so the hoses don't prevent the sender float from moving up and down to read the level.

Just a piece of 1/4" rod with a nut on the end that is bent to fit the notches of the basket. To make sure the nut does not fall off in the tank, hit the nut with a hammer and lock it to the rod.

The nut catching the notch in the backet and the leverage of going around the FP is what makes this work so well. Works equally well installing the new FP.

I tried for half an hour using my hands to get the FP out to no avail. Made this tools and 5 seconds later the FP was out.

Its not pretty but worked very well and didnt cost anything since I had the piece of scrap rod laying around.

Also, what part of the baffle did you grab?

The_Jerbel (Jordan) Junior Member Account #: 112060 Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 1,276	Yeah I figured that. So when you put it back in you probably have to... line it up, push down, and twist clockwise to lock it in hey? __________________ custom shift knobs> more shift knob pics> Jordan 2000 S4 - VAST stage 3+ HB, K04's, VAST hi-flow fuel pump, green giant injectors, Ported and polished exhaust manifolds, piggie pipes, RS4 Airbox, MAF, and accordion, VAST stage 3 ceramic organic hybrid clutch and RS4 PP, poly snub, RS4 motor and trans mounts, innovate wideband AFR gauge, low temp after-run switch, Bailey sport DV's, Milltek 3" exhaust, neuspeed rear sway bar, Eibach sport pro, Bilstein sport, E-code HID, 235/40/18 Kumho Ecsta SPT, VAST MBC and adjustable TCD, RS4 intercoolers, RS4 front bumper and grill, Custom backlit bird's eye maple shifter with JHM solid short shift and delrin bushings and rebuilt shifter linkage
