Insert random curse words of your choosing here.......
Now, before you say "Vfaq this, PB Blaster that", there are a few things that you should know. I performed this install(removal actually) per the instructions listed on Vfaq.com. Everything was moving according to plan. I had PB Blastered the fuel line off and on all week and was hoping to do something this weekend. I finally got the 14mm line wrench for the fuel line and went to town tonight. First off, the fuel line came off EASY!!! I was surprised. There is rust on top of this fuel tank like you wouldn't believe. Rust that has rusted on top of rust. As I eagerly finish that up I start on the fuel pump assembly bolts (the six little ones) that hold it onto the fuel tank. Here's where the trouble begins. I broke the first one off. Clean off flush with the assembly. Here's where the curse words go. Not only did I break that one off, two others broke as well. The other three came off fine without trouble. So, now I have a problem. I can't put the pump assembly back in with the new pump until I figure out how I'm going to fix this. I guess my query comes down to this: Are those studs replaceable or do I need to buy a new fuel tank? Black92TSiAWD, I know you've got a spare fuel tank, or used to, if you could please look and see if those studs are pressed in or if they are brazed in. I would much appreciate it. If I do have to go the tank route it's not a big deal, just frustrating. Who would have thought that the hardest part of the whole ordeal would have been those six little bolts? -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"
