- REMOVE FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the fuel sender gauge assembly connector.
- Push the claw (A) of the fuel sender gauge assembly, and then pull up the fuel sender gauge assembly to remove it.NOTE:
- Do not touch the resistance plate or contacts of the fuel sender gauge assembly.
- Make sure that the fuel sender gauge assembly arm does not bend.
- Disconnect the fuel sender gauge assembly connector.
- REMOVE REAR FLOOR SERVICE HOLE COVER
- REMOVE FUEL TANK VENT TUBE ASSEMBLY
- Release the lock and remove the No. 1 fuel tube clamp.
Front Side - Temporarily install SST (plate) and SST (claw) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- SST: 09808-14030
- 09808-01030
- 09808-01050
- SST: 09808-01071
HINT:
Securely insert the ends of SST (claw) into the insertion points in the fuel pump gauge retainer.
*a Insertion Point *b SST (Plate) *c SST (Claw) *d SST (Bolt) - SST: 09808-14030
- While firmly pressing SST (claw) into the insertion points in the fuel pump gauge retainer, tighten SST (bolt).
- Install SST (handle) to SST (plate).
*a SST (Handle) *b SST (Plate) *c SST (Claw) - SST: 09808-14030
- 09808-01010
- 09808-01030
- 09808-01050
- SST: 09808-01071
- SST: 09808-14030
- 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.NOTE:
- Do not use any tools other than specified 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 (bolt) and reinstall SST.
- While pressing down on the fuel tank vent tube assembly, remove the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- Disconnect the fuel return vent tube sub-assembly and remove the fuel tank vent tube assembly from the fuel tank assembly.NOTE:
- Make sure that the No. 2 fuel sender gauge assembly arm does not bend.
- Do not damage the fuel return vent tube sub-assembly.
- When disconnecting the fuel tube connector, do not excessively pull on the fuel return vent tube sub-assembly.
- Remove the fuel suction tube set gasket from the fuel tank assembly.
- Release the lock and remove the No. 1 fuel tube clamp.
- REMOVE NO. 2 FUEL SENDER GAUGE ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the No. 2 fuel sender gauge assembly connector.
- Push the claw (A) of the No. 2 fuel sender gauge assembly, and then pull up the No. 2 fuel sender gauge assembly to remove it.NOTE:
- Do not touch the resistance plate or contacts of the No. 2 fuel sender gauge assembly.
- Make sure that the No. 2 fuel sender gauge assembly arm does not bend.
- Disconnect the No. 2 fuel sender gauge assembly connector.
