How to: del sol rear compartment and fuel pump removal [26 pics]
easy enough but I couldnt find a guide so I though Id make one
tools needed for compartments:
-standard size philips screw driver
-flat head screwdriver for prying
-piece of cloth
-optional 12mm socket for seats
tools needed for fuel pump:
-pliers
-10 and 17mm sockets
personal trunk removal
first take a seat out. Its not neaded but it will make it A LOT easier
its held in by 4 12mm bolts
next remove these 4 screw
theres 2 on each side in the same location
and 1 screw in the cup holder
pry it off with a flathead
I used the cloth so it doesnt scratch anything
disconnect the cigarette lighter
pull it off with the ebrake engaged
then roll down the back window and pry it off from the top
try to pry on both ends at the same time so it doesnt crack or anything
all off
then theres 2 screws holding on each speaker grill
disconnect the speakers
pull it off after
remove the 2 screws on the bottom of the bins, 1 on each side
and 2 in each bin
so 6 total holding the bins
pry it off
I started at the top and worked my way around to the bottom
some more prying
all gone
Fuel pump removal
remove the 4 screws holding the cover plate on
I cringed when I opened it up, soo much rust, hopefully yours isnt so bad
I had to chisel all the rust off then hammer a 10mm socket on the 6 main bolts, remove these
relieve the gas pressure from were you pump gas
nowuse a 17mm socket to take the banjo nut off, be CAREFUL not to lose the 2 copper gaskets
use a rag to collect any gas
disconnect the electrical connecter on the back left
and use a pair of pliers to remove the hose on the right
pull the pump out slowly, the filter might catch on the tank
looks cool
new walbro 255lph on and old fuel pump next to it for comparison
good idea to replace those 6 bolts
installation is the opposite of removal
