It'pretty simple mate, open up the tank (behind the rear seat), undo the bracket to get the pump out, undo the hose clamps, remove the pump from the bracket, install the new pump with some hose clamps, bend the metal fuel line to line up with the new outlet, cut the wires to the original pump and put some ring terminals on, hook up to the new pump with the right polarity, and squeeze everything back through the hole and re-install everything...

It's pretty straight foreward when you open it up.

thanks Tai.

I opened it up and i've done all that. I bent the metal fuel line and it didn't work so well so i just cut most of it off the bracket and ran some fuel hose. i've got rubber behind the pump so it doesn't make much noise on the bracket and everything.

Do you know what kinda relay i'll need to set up? like what amps this pump will draw or whatever.

And just so i'm clear on this, the ring terminals don't need to be insulated? like you could basically run bare wire in the tank so long as it doesn't spark

Did u use INtake Fuel Hose? As normal fuel Hose is only designed to carry fuel through it. It can break down on the outside when exposed to fuel for long periods of time, Or so ive been informed anyways.

I think the pumps draw around 10 amps.... So overestemate alot and you will be fine :-)

Ring terminals don't need to be insulated as such, but just make sure they cant touch each other or anything else around them EVER!

If you are worried at all, keep your tank full.. (no vapours)

Make sure anything you put in the tank won't degrade with the fuel.

What about the plastic on the ring Terminals? I got myself ordered in some intake fuel hose so that's fine. and i used stainless steal hose clamps to hold everything so yeah. relay and everything is all wired up and ready to go!
