Relocate the spacer, ring, and
cap to the Denso pump. |
|
Pull off the rubber base. |
|
Carefully remove the clip which
holds the strainer bag assembly in place. You will need to
reuse this clip. A pair of side cutters worked well for this. |
|
Relocate strainer bag to the new
pump. |
|
Re-shape the clip if needed, and
attach it. A 5mm socket helps to push it on. |
|
Cut off the connector which plugs
into the old pump, and solder the bare wires to the new pump.
The blue wire is positive and the black wire is negative. |
|
Trim the rubber base so that it
fits on the new pump. The strainer bag on the Denso will be
at a slightly different angle compared to stock. |
|
Put everything back together as
shown. The blue (+) wire will be somewhat close to the pump.
It is important that this wire does not rub against the pump
housing, wearing the insulation to cause a short. If this is
an issue, you can cut the connector to allow for more clearance
on this wire. |
Lower the new pump into the tank. Since the strainer
bag is at an angle, it will not fit as well, so you may need
to apply some force to push it down. Re-tighten the nuts
on the top plate, and reinstall the cover plate and rear
seat. You are done.
