* Disconnect the 6 pin connector on top of the fuel plate, start the car(or try). This depressurizes the fuel lines.
* Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
* place blue paper shop towels around the lines and disconnect them.
* Unscrew fuel plate cover, lift and rotate.
* be patient when rotating the assembly to get it out.

It's all very easy to do, just be safe about it. Worst thing that happened to me when I did mine was I forgot a hose clamp so had to do the job twice. I breathed in so much fumes that I had the worst head ache of my life the next day.

yes, once you've done it, it takes no time at all. After realizing I forgot a hose clamp, I was able to remove the fuel pump assembly in about 10 minutes.

Ya, the only tricky part is getting everything seated correctly. Another thing that delayed me was that I needeed to cut the part of the stock line off to fit my walbro.
Oh yea, and if karlton wants to host thats fine with my =)

But you had a wagon, which was way easier to get to. Maybe a little longer since you'll have to climb into the trunk.

We are just tossing the idea up. Someone just needs to host. That's about it.
