installed? do it yourself! its not THAT hard....

get some highrise jacks, and jackstands, and a haynes manual

[irondiezl3]

thought you had to drop the tank?

[[ion] C2]

yeah, it's a pain in the ass.

[Nate's Alero]

yeah, place a jack under tank, release straps... make sure its pretty empty....

pull pump... replace pump... done :)

it'll be less expensive to get a walbro pump, and its not a pain in the ass. its easier than it looks.

i just did a fuel pump on a 04 ecotec sunfire just get hi rise jacks and jackstands get a few friends and pull the tank out

[Bmorezcmunee]

ive seen guys at the shop do it without dropping the tank. but then again they have lifts. not jacks...

78k on a original fuel pump aint to bad huh? one shop said i should replace fuel filter also even though i just replaced it 11 months ago he said when a pump goes it can ruin the filter so always replace it to what you guys think?

[99alerogirl]

i dunno, but i tried to change my filter last week, and it's still sitting in my car. there's not much room and i couldn't figure out how to get it out!

[Nate's Alero]

you only got 78K out of it?!? wow... mine has 151K on it... sounds like a suburban one though.... so loud...

i highly doubt that since its INSIDE the tank...atleast on the 3400

Use one of those windshield wiper arm removal tools (I think that's what they're called), hold the filter against the fuel line as you pry the fitting away from the filter with the tool.....
