to get to the fuel pump is extremely easy. You can get to it in under 5 min.
behind the passenger seat is that little carpet "shelf". The shelf is held in with 4-6 push clips. Get a small pry tool under it and just pop it straight up. Pull out the sound insulation sheet, pay attention to how its in there because its a little tough to cram it back in when youre done, so its easier if you remember which way it was positioned. Then remove the 4 10mm bolts on the fuel pump access port cover. Lift up / rotate the panel enough to reach in and unplug the connector from the top of the fuel pump.
There you have it. If you want to remove the fuel pump assembly, take out the 6 8mm bolts. Things to remember... do not do this unless you have half tank of gas or less, and the less the safer. If you open it up full tank, you will make a mess because the fuel pump is not at the highest spot in the tank, so when you take out the 6 bolts gas will spill all down the side of your tank.
Another note... there is a 4.25" or so diameter Oring that seals your fuel pump assembly to the gas tank. If you plan to remove those 6 bolts and lift up the assembly, you may want to have a fresh oring for when you reinstall. they expand and become extremely difficult to reuse. i have the trick down to cramming in an expanded one, but first timers will waste hours trying to get that sucker in right.
