Ok, I'm asking for "replace fuel pump" instructions for beginers. Stock fuel pump died (or at least i think it did). I've replaced it with a walbro 255 as it was, new and readily available. My car was already out of action for a week so I was getting a impatient. Anyway, i've installed the new one. Works fine. Could see the fuel coming out the top of it when i did a quick test before putting everything back together.

Car still won't start. Going to replace the fuel filter next. Mechanic "claimed" to have done it about a month ago but when i lookrd at it (under passenger side rear wheel) i don't think it has been replaced in years. so my questions are :

1) How do you get the bl**dy fuel filter off ? Had a go but stopped for fear of braking something.
2) Is there anyhting alse i should have done after putting in the new fuel pump ?

I'm sorry if these are basic issues that have already been discussed but i've done about 10 searches and nothing comes up that deals with a "how to" on this issue.

Any help would be really really appreciated.
