go under your back seat......tjher will be a large black plastic cap.......this turns anti clockwise to come out and oppsite to go back in......u need a large flat bladed screw driver and tilt the screw-driver......and hit it with the palm of your hands.....so to turn the large plastic cap.......and under that cap is your fuel pump.......it will be lcoated in the fuel tank by 2 or 3 little tabs.......just wiggle the fuel pump and it will come out
