Default Civic/Teg Fuel Pump Replacement

TOOLS

• 7 mm socket (optional)
• 10mm socket
• 17 mm socket or wrench
• Socket extension (optional)
• Ratchet
• Philips-head screwdriver
• Small flat-head screwdriver
• Regular sized flat-head screwdriver
• Pliars
• Rags

PROCEDURE

• Remove the rear seat (10mm bolt near the center of the seat between the bottom and rear seats).

• Remove the gas cap to relieve any pressure in the fuel tank.

• Remove the access panel cover (4 philips-head screws) to reveal the fuel tank cover.


• Pull the rubber boot up on the connector and disconnect it.


• Remove the banjo bolt (17mm - remember to keep track of how the crush washers go back on). Be aware that fuel will likely spew out so have a rag ready. Also remove the other hose from the cover (fuel return line).

• Remove the 6 nuts from the cover (10mm)


• Pull the entire cover up and the pump will follow. Remove everything attached from the tank.


• Pull the bottom of the pump away from the assembly.


• Push the edges of the green tab down and slide it up toward the cover (push where red arrows are)


• Push the tab on the black connector to disconnect it from the pump


• Slide the original clamps on the hose away from their original positions and remove the pump from the assembly. Also remove the hose.

• Pull the rubber boot up from the bottom of the pump to reveal a little round keeper on the filter


• Remove the keeper with a small flat-head screwdriver and keep track of it - you may need to reuse this piece


• Place the rubber boot onto the new filter and attach the filter to the new pump. Add the keeper to keep it in place. I used a 7mm socket and extension to apply pressure evenly on the keeper to make it easier to install.


• Place the new hose and clamps on the new pump. Be careful so that the clamps don't touch the assembly when the pump is in place. Metal to metal in a fuel tank is not a good idea.


• Place the pump back onto the assembly and tighten the clamps



• Attach the wire plug onto the new pump. Remember to put the green keeper back onto the wire plug.

• Drop the whole assembly - pump and all - back into the tank

• Tighten the 6 10mm nuts in a criss-cross pattern (like you would your wheel)

• Reinstall the line with the banjo bolt and crush washers

• Reinstall the return line and slide the clamp back into place

• Place the wire plug back on and pull the boot back into place

• Reinstall the panel cover

• Reinstall the rear seat

Done!
