Ok, I've got the grommet out, the locking ring off, hoses and wires disconnected from the lid, and the lid off to one side.

So how do I get the fuel pump/level indicator assembly out of the tank? I've tried pulling on it every which way and it won't budge.

On a related note: anyone have a 2000 DOHC V-6 that loses power, etc under load when the tank is less than 1/2 full? I've replaced the filter several times but it really hasn't helped.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
