    Just did it yesterday, just as you did, I only had a problem with the top fuel line coming out of the fuel pump, that line was hell, the tool just would not go into the line, I spent an hour fighting with that thing, finally had to grind the tool a little and got it to go into where it was to go, only to have to take a small hammer and tap it forward and it came out. What a pain in the butt that was. I should of gotten another tool. Hate it when all goes easy accept for one little connection. My Crown ford is a 1996. It has a 165,000 miles and I drive it to Sanford Florida from Akron Ohio and back once a year. ( Snow Bird ) Enjoy the ride. They just keep going and going and going.

    Watch a small hole on the back of the plug (or to watch the new plug of new fuel pump so you can do it) then use any small rod to slide through then prying up the clip or just break it while prying because you don't reuse that clip any way. EASY with out dropping the tanh, or you just drop one side about under 1 inch only

    You want to make sure the tank is empty. But if the fuel pump has failed you can't pump it out. Would be nice if someone had a cool way to drain the tank and not just say "empty the tank first", if you're changing a fuel pump.

    emptying the tank has nothing to do with safety unless you are concerned about the weight. Vapors are more explosive than liquid. 1/4 cup of gas with still cause enough vapors to cause and explosion.
