- REMOVE FUEL PUMP GAUGE RETAINER
- Release the lock and remove the No. 1 fuel tube clamp.
Front Side - Remove the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- Temporarily install SST (plate and claws) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- SST: 09808-0107109808-14030
- 09808-01030
- 09808-01050
HINT:
Securely insert the ends of SST (claws) into the insertion points in the fuel pump gauge retainer.
*a Insertion Point *b SST (Plate) *c SST (Claw) *d SST (Bolt) - SST: 09808-0107109808-14030
- While firmly pressing the SST (claws) into the insertion points in the fuel pump gauge retainer, tighten the SST (bolts).
- Install SST (handle).
- Lightly press down on SST to prevent it from separating from the fuel pump gauge retainer. While pressing down on SST, rotate SST (handle) slowly to loosen the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- SST: 09808-0107109808-14030
- 09808-01010
- 09808-01020
- 09808-01030
- 09808-01050
*a SST (Handle) *b SST (Plate) *c SST (Claw) NOTE:- Do not use any tools other than specified in this operation as this may result in damage to the fuel pump gauge retainer or the fuel tank assembly.
- Do not press down on SST excessively as this may make the fuel pump gauge retainer hard to rotate, and may damage components.
- Make sure to rotate SST (handle) horizontally. If it is rotated at an angle, SST may come off.
- Do not spin SST too fast or use an impact wrench as this may result in damage to components.
- If SST comes off of the fuel pump gauge retainer, loosen SST (bolts) and reinstall SST.
- SST: 09808-0107109808-14030
- Temporarily install SST (plate and claws) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- Release the lock and remove the No. 1 fuel tube clamp.
- REMOVE FUEL SUCTION TUBE WITH PUMP AND GAUGE ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the fuel return vent tube sub-assembly.
- Remove the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly from the fuel tank assembly.NOTE:
- Make sure that the fuel sender gauge arm does not bend.
- Do not damage the fuel return vent tube sub-assembly.
- Remove the fuel suction tube set gasket from the fuel tank assembly.
- Disconnect the fuel return vent tube sub-assembly.
