I cut a hole in the floor to access it then made a new piece of metal and put silicone and sheet metal screws to seal it up.

A.k.a destroying a good jeep by beign lazy and not doing it the right way
You definitely have one of the best Jeep XJ channels. Thanks for helping me figure out all the repairs I needed to do on my Cherokee restoration.
The plastic ring is easy to remove if You warm it up with some hot water before, works a charm! Great video!
Hell yes! I'm going to replace mine in the spring because it's original. Thanks for the info!
Nicely done Austin.That baby fired right up...👊👍👍
Thanks for doing this video jeep xj is my main mode of transportation for my adventures
Thank you so much, You are a great teacher, I do not no much of this but with your instruction make it so simple, thank you again, the tool make it so easy to remove the pump.
Excellent presentation! No music no bs. I ordered parts from your link thanks. I just picked up a ‘98 limited. 102K miles was not started in 5 years.
I forgot what pump I got for my XJ when I did this but it actually came with a new ring. The reign took is a must have, I got one for Chrysler and ford. Hammer and screw driver or chisel suck big time! Love the videos and I’m glad to see a new one out!
Thanks again for your videos Austin 👍

Love the new stickers!!!
Thank you for a super good video.
This is prob in my future...thanks for the detailed vid!
Great video. I just did this two weeks ago. I did upgrade to a 98 ZJ tank, some jack wagon decided to steal my gas by drilling a whole in my stock tank. Figured I might as well do the pump while it was out. Delphi pump of course, I couldn't source a Bosch either.
Great video !
this dudes very knowledgeable 👍
Great video, thank you so much!!!
Thank you for a good video 🎉
You did a phenomenal job on this video. Very nice. Now, I have to do the exact same job on my 1999 Dodge Ram truck. So if you have that same type of video, I would appreciate it. Once again, very nice job on this.
Excellent Vid!
Doing this job now. That tool would not budge my large pump retainer nut. I had some small 1x2x6 sections of oak wood. I used that against the top ribs on the nut and tap tap tap around it and it started to move. I got it about 1/4 turn then used the tool to finish up. Man that nut is HELL to get back on. Did have to use the tool for that right from the get go until tight. For those thinking you might not need the new filler hose forget it, mine was shot and I had to stop and order new hoses. After an entire day of looking I never found any better then what is in the link from outjeeping.

My tank armor (Skid Row) and my bumper W/tire swing (Smitty) is all tied in with gas tank so I will be cutting a access hole which I did with my old truck. 🤙🏻
Been holding off on this fix for a few years. I've had to prime the fuel rail/pump by cycling the key on a few times but today the pump finally gave out as I tried to back out of the driveway. The irony is that I just replaced the fuel injectors a few days ago for the 4 hole upgrades. Honestly surprised it's lasted this long. I've heard the Carter brand is a decent fuel pump that holds up well and a fraction of the cost for Delphi/Bosch so I'm gonna give it a go. Anyway, thanks for the video!

@@BH-gh6qm seems to hold up well but I do have an issue with some pretty bad idle surging on cold start. It's really bad in cold weather to the point where it will die right away unless I give it some rpm for a few minutes until it stabilizes. At times, if i don't let the engine get to standard temp, i'll get some backfiring and loss of power\delay from 2nd-3rd gear. I'm certain it has to do with the injectors. I replaced the injectors at the same time as the pump when this issue popped up. Got some $50 Bosch 4holes from eBay so maybe one or more of them is faulty. I haven't had much time to test the voltage to see if that is the case. As far as the fuel pump goes, I'm sure that's not my issue as it fires right up. Sorry I couldn't be more definitive with your question but I'd say give Carter a go if you're looking to change yours out soon. Bought mine off of rockauto if i can remember correctly.
I've seen the Bosch pumps (67658) pop up a couple of times on rockauto in the past few years, so they're not completely discontinued, just likely manufactured in small batches (and sell out fast).
Enjoyed your video thank you. I have a XJ Cherokee 1999 with the WM 4 Cyl Diesel engine and I have an issue with the Fuel tank unit as is doesn’t always read the fuel state correctly? I can’t seem to find a replacement? Can you advise please. I live in the UK. Many thanks John.

Great video. I am getting a P1494 code now that I've replaced my pump... I've check all connections, all vacuum lines and elbows, all seems to good there. Any thoughts?

I would recheck your evap lines from the engine to the charcoal canister and to the tank. It's a common issue for them to break, rust out, or have cracked rubber at the connections. All of those can lead to the check engine light.

Is it possible to cut a access hole in the cabin to get to that pump.

Yes but it would probably take just as long to drop the tank. The job can easily be done in a few hours.
Nice video, gotta do this for my 2000 xj, Q: why not syphon the gas out before installing the new pump? It would be easier to mount the tank imo.

Make sure the trans fluid is topped off and not burnt. But if it comes down to a bad transmission I would look for a used one. They are pretty solid transmissions so even one from the junk yard could have plenty of life left.

You would still need to pull out the module from in the tank and take the old fuel pump off that assembly to replace it.
How's the fuel pump holding up? I have to do mine and I found one source that has the Bosch pump but it's over double what it would cost to buy a Delphi on Rockauto

@@OutJeeping I am sorry to hear that Ended up buying a pump off 1A Auto. Fuel pressure out of the box is 45 psi. Under the spec for both the pump and factory spec of 49.2 +/- 2. Sending unit also not good but idk if the pump is sitting right No on any Bosch sources. If you find anyone selling NOS or any in stock Bosch or even Mopar let me know Edit: that one source actually did not have a Bosch fuel pump

I'm going to replace the carpet so in my case. I'm going to gently cut the floor with a 4 inch Walter's zip disk. About a foot square. flange the pan and glue in new steel and under coat it. Nobody will ever know. Should take about an hour too completely finish the fuel pump and patch😂😂😂😂. Always said they should have an access door in the floor for service access from the factory. My xj will have one for future reference
Will you grind the rust and por it? Mine isn’t that bad but I fear Father Time truly gets us all.

It should be easier for Cherokees before 97. You are able to replace the fuel pump while the tank is in the vehicle since it is on the side of the tank. They will take a different style fuel pump modulator for the correct year.
