In answer to your question its not a PITA but you do have to remove the bottom rear seat cushion and I think metal cutting is required once you get the cushion out of the way in order to access the pump since the post 98+ are returnless and have the access cover in a slightly less easy to access position. ATX MTX swap, rear drum disc swap, drilled rotors, ported intake, optim throttle body, CAI, 7.5L MAF, adj. fuel regulator, longtube headers, underdrive pulley, no EGR, low inpedence bigger injectors, 2002 Focus Swap

I don't want to read about you in the news.

Take off bottom seat Pull back rubber cover and unplug wires. Take a screwdriver and somewhat-lightly tap the outer ring. I'm not sure which way to turn it, but if you think really hard when you look at it, you'll see it only turns off one way. Supposed to replace gasket after "disturbing" it at anytime, but I didn't 1992 Ford Escort LX-E -Tracer LTS spoiler -GT Grille
