REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

NOTE: Be sure to obtain new fuel pump gaskets before installation.

1. Open the hood and disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Mark the fuel inlet, outlet and (if applicable) return lines near the fuel pump connections, to avoid confusion during installation.
3. Slide the fuel line clips back off the pump connectors. Then, twist and pull the fuel lines off the pump. Note that the 323 and 626 have inlet and return lines on the top of the pump and an outlet on the side.
4. Unfasten the mounting bolts (usually two) from the block or cylinder head, then remove the pump, gaskets, and spacer.

   To install:

5. Position new gaskets with the spacer and fuel pump on the block or cylinder head, then install the mounting bolts.
6. Attach the inlet, outlet and (if applicable) return lines to the appropriate connections on the pump and secure them with the line clips.
7. Connect the negative battery cable. Start the engine and check for fuel leaks.
