Change fuel pump

Hello Guys,

I got my new fuel pump and just found out, that this isn't just removing old pump and putting in new pump.
Since this is an in-tank pump it seems I have to remove the whole damn tank to swap the pump.

Today I looked under the car to find out the best way to do that. I gave up when I realized I have to remove the exhaust, power train and differntial to get the tank down.

Is there anyone around who knows a) easier way to get the pump swapped or  b) a garage not charging a fortune to do it?
Maybe one of our club members can do something like this?

Please let me know. I am off course willing to do it my self, but without a proper lift....  :hang:

Thanks

Axel

Thanks for the replay.

I have a Impreza Wagon from 1998 and thought already to just remove the back seat to get there.
But there is no cover nor anything to screw off, or I am just blind.

Any other idea?

Lads,

you all where right. It was behind the backseat under the carpet in the boot.
I have changed the pump and it was an easy job (if you know where to look at)  :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot to all your help.

Really appreciate it.
