What do you want to know? Basically as long as you can get your old one out, just do the opposite of taking the old one off. Just dont loose the little circled metal clip on the bottom of your pump.

All you do is pull the old out, unplug it, unbolt it, I think its only one screw.

I used a 6mm deep well socket to put that small circle clip back on the bottom.

If Im helping at all and you need more info, let me know. Im home till about 6 today. Im in EST time.

Good luck

remove the rear seat.
it's the one on the passenger side.

to install the 255, your bracket won't be long enough. so to remedy this, i drilled a lower hole in the bracket to mount the pump. you'll figure it out.

ok so take off the rear seat and it should be right there? Is there anything I need to do before taking my stock pump out? Thanks

Yeah, depressurize the system. You can do this by unplugging the the plug that goes to your fuel pump and starting the car and letting it run till it dies. Then you fine.

When you take out the back seat you want to take off the cover that closest to the pass. side door.

Good luck
