PUT OUT FA G

Actually do it outside or somewhere well ventilated. sensible to disconnect battery too.

Take out back seat - 2 or 3 bolts for bottom squab down where your heels would be if you were sitting in the seat, 2 or 3 bolts at bottom of rear seatback once the bottom half is removed (can't remember exact number of bolts). Seats just lift out - time required 3-4 minutes

Remove panel over gap in bulkhead between boot and passenger compartment - 2 minute

Remove panel in floor on the right hand side revealing tank with a panel with fuel lines going in and out of it - 2-3 mins

Remove pipes & panel in tank and the fuel pump assembly comes with it. Time a few mins

It's pretty self evident what to do from there which is just to swap the new pump for the old one with a little bit of fiddling with the electrical connections on the new pump to connect to the existing loom connections. The new pump just clips in place of the existing one so no jiggery pokery apart from you should re-use the existing fuel filter net thing attached to the original pump.

Re assemble

Don't be surprised at how noisy a bugger the new pump is - you will be able to hear it whirring away pretty clearly.

I seem to remember that Ravensblade.com had something with photos on it

When I changed mine I waited until my tank was nearly empty, just so I didn't need to pull the whole assembly through all the fuel whilst removing it.  Also, after I disconnected the electrical connector for the pump I turned the ignition over just to get any fuel out of fuel hose (probably not required though), then I removed the fuel hoses in and out of the tank.  One you have a look it's pretty obvious what to do.
