You've removed the seat base which is held in place by 2 bolts.

Remove the seat back ( 3 bolts) and lift the seat back up off the retaining clips.

You'll then see an oblong cover on the drivers side with 4 screws. (You can see the cover from the boot area if you lift the boot carpet. There's also a round cover on the passenger side, but you're not interested in that). Remove the plate, then remove the electrical connection and the hose pipes there, being careful removing the hoses (gently) cause there will probably still be fuel pressure in them.

Remove the 8mm nuts (socket size) off the top of the plate and the whole assembly including pump will come out

follow the things that look like brake pipes, should be the fuel lines as brake lines run under the car i think

[AlanG]

both fuel and brake lines run inside the car. fuel lines down passenger side, brakelines down drivers side

As Alan says buddy not a hard job just a bit fiddly

When i did this a few months ago i had to strip out the boot and remove the rear seats. Made it a lot more simple.

Hard part for me was getting the rubber pipes off the connections on the plate the pump is mounted on. Bad language helped.

Did you remember to use the original filter bag when you fitted the new pump ?
