If any of you upgrade, or replace your fuel pump, BE VERY, VERY, CAREFUL!!!
The Subaru factory manuel says in what order to remove the three brackets, but not that they are held in place with a four fingered spring plate, or that they just lift out once the spring is gone.
Nor do they mention that one gallon of gasoline has the explosive power of SEVEN STICKS of DYNAMITE, (I'm sure some of you NAPA allready knew that).
Evan with the doors, the trunk, and the gas cap open,(I forgot the sunroof when I did mine ) there is still a very strong smell of gas/air in the car during the job.
Park your car away from any smoking buddies that might stop by. I also posted NO SMOKING signs on the car. And make sure you disconnect the battery before you do anything else (except the windows+sunroof ).
So be carefull out there. Tom

I'll have Di put photos in a locker and post when she does.

Please read WARNING in two posts. Thanks, Tom
