Fuel pump: Dismantling

IMPORTANT: The car should be parked on a level surface. If the tank is full and the car is jacked up at the rear when the pump is removed, it is very likely that fuel will run out.
Place protective paper over the carpeting when the pump is removed as there is a risk of fuel spilling out.

Raise the rear seat cushions and fold the carpeting out of the way.

Remove the fuel pump cover.
Unplug the upper connector.
IMPORTANT: The connector on the pump must not be removed.
Carefully work loose the check valves with fuel lines from the pump (move the yellow hooks to one side with a screwdriver). The check valves are connected to the pump with quick release couplings. The white ones are the delivery side and marked "Pressure" on the pump.
The black ones are the return side and are marked "Return" on the pump. Move them out of the way and secure them under the plate seam.
