Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 32
- REMOVE REAR NO. 1 FLOOR BOARD PANEL (w/o Rear Seat Assembly)
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 33
- REMOVE REAR FLOOR SERVICE HOLE COVER (for LH Side)
- DISCONNECT FUEL TANK MAIN TUBE SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Remove the tube joint clip, and pull off the fuel tube joint of the fuel tank main tube sub-assembly.NOTE:
- Remove any foreign matter on the fuel tube joint before performing this work.
- Do not scratch or allow any foreign matter to get on the parts when disconnecting them as the fuel tube connector has O-rings that seal the pipe (fuel pipe).
- Be sure to disconnect the fuel tube joint by hand.
- Do not bend, twist, pinch or kink the nylon tube.
- Cover the disconnected fuel tube joint with a plastic bag to prevent damage and contamination.
- If the fuel tube joint and fuel suction plate sub-assembly are stuck, push and pull to release them.
*1 Tube Joint Clip *2 Fuel Tank Main Tube Sub-assembly *3 Plate Sub-assembly *a Fuel Tube Joint *b Nylon Tube *c O-ring Pull off Pull off - Disengage the clamp to disconnect the fuel tank main tube sub-assembly.
- Remove the tube joint clip, and pull off the fuel tube joint of the fuel tank main tube sub-assembly.
- REMOVE NO. 1 FUEL TUBE CLAMP
- REMOVE FUEL PUMP GAUGE RETAINER
- Remove the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- Temporarily install SST (plate) and SST (claw) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- SST: 09808-14031
- 09808-01030
- 09808-01090
- SST: 09808-01071
HINT:
Securely insert the ends of SST (claw) into the insertion points in the fuel pump gauge retainer.
*a SST (Plate) *b SST (Bolt) *c SST (Claw) *d Insertion Point - SST: 09808-14031
- While firmly pressing SST (claw) into the insertion points in the fuel pump gauge retainer, tighten SST (bolt).
- Install SST (handle) and an extension bar to SST (plate).
*a SST (Handle) *b SST (Plate) *c SST (Bolt) *d SST (Claw) *e Extension Bar - SST: 09808-14031
- 09808-01010
- SST: 09808-14031
- 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 fuel tank sub-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 suction tube with pump and gauge assembly, remove the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- Temporarily install SST (plate) and SST (claw) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- Remove the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- REMOVE FUEL SUCTION TUBE WITH PUMP AND GAUGE ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the fuel return vent tube sub-assembly and remove the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly from the fuel tank sub-assembly.
Refer to PRECAUTION [11/2022 - ]
NOTE:Be careful not to bend the arm of the fuel sender gauge assembly.
- Remove the fuel suction tube set gasket from the fuel tank sub-assembly.
- Disconnect the fuel return vent tube sub-assembly and remove the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly from the fuel tank sub-assembly.
