remove rear seat (lower section) 10mm bolt and 2 clips





To remove seat from these clips simply pull straight up (once 10mm bolt has been removed).



Remove metal cover and harness plug



Remove these 4 screws to get to harness plug and fuel connection



Harness plug



This is what you should be left with!! to remove fuel connection squeeze clip and pull on fuel line




Gently tap the Black retaining nut counter clockwise, untill it can be undone my hand, be carefull not to cut yourself as the metal edges are sharp, i use rags to avoid this, as shown.



This is what you should be left with once out of the tank, be carefull when removing not to damage the fuel level sender unit. You can also see the new filter on the left.



Another angle



Undo the pressure reg fitting (note 2 orings are supplied, these are slightly different sizes)






remove the 2 connectors on old unit



remove this pin from housing, be carefull not to snap this, I have seen it done before!!



Swap the black sealing ring, and fuel connector clip, Also remove hose going to pump, similar clip to pressure reg (make sure these are on properly when re installing them, or they will blow off under pressure!!)



This is not a complicated job, just make sure you carefully look at the assembly before dismantling it, and make sure everything goes back into its original location.

To reinstall this unit, it is just reverse order of removal, If you are not 100% sure about doing this, then best leave it to a mechanic or confident friend

good luck!
