changing fuel pump

Unless you want to cut a hole in the trunk panel then yes. Its really not that bad as long as nothing is rusted.
Be very careful with the metal fuel lines. Many people have destroyed theirs trying to break them apart.
I made my own easy access panel 
just cut a square hole and got a piece of sheet metal and some screws used a drill to install and wala!

I'm gonna have to wait to take pics of what i did. My car will not be back in my hands until March 5th Sorry
I've pulled the access panel to pull the sender before but didn't really look around when I was in there. No need for pictures then, I will just go look and figure it out if it's visible. Thanks for the help!
Caps Issue...Yeah I do that sometimes. Funny because a little bit back a moderator was busting my webos saying why am I act childish screaming in a reply to him.. I didn't reply which was probably for the best.
It turned out being a loose wire to the cam sensor. I would have replied sooner I just didn't get a email that anyone replied to the thread. I need to fix that in my settings. Thank you guys for your help.

Even though it's been a year I'm curious as to what exactly that means...
I'm scared shitless of doing this job when my stock fuel pump dies. Funny thing though, it just won't die. It just keeps going. Still running the original fuel pump from 1989 (with 300,000KM and counting...FML)
To drop the tank unplug the sending unit and the pump and through the access panel...
Undo the fuel line from the filter(I have found that was the easiest for me)
and undo the 2strapps holding it up (from the front... They hinge in back)
I did 2 this week it's real simple... Just unscrew the thing inside the fuel door before you put the tank back up... Makes it easier to get the fill line in with it off
For me that was way easier than cutting an access panel (unless your car is rusted together)

I say take the tank down and do it the right way. Once you start doing short cuts and half a## doing things where does it end. Heck why run premium fuel? Regular is cheaper. Right.
Plus it is alot easier to change the fuel filter with the tank out.
