  6. REMOVE FUEL PUMP GAUGE RETAINER


    1. A00OUHSE01

      Temporarily install SST (plate and 4 claws) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.

      SST
      09808-14030
      09808-01070

      Tech Tips


      • Be sure to use 4 SST (claws) as shown in the illustration.

      • Engage SST (claws) securely with the fuel pump gauge retainer ribs to secure SST.

    2. While pressing SST (claws) against the fuel pump gauge retainer ribs securely, install the 4 bolts.

      Tech Tips

      Install SST while pressing SST (claws) against the fuel pump gauge retainer (towards the center of SST).

    3. Install SST (handle).

    4. A00OUOQE01

      Lightly press down on SST to prevent it from separating from the fuel pump gauge retainer. While pressing SST, rotate the handle slowly to loosen the fuel pump gauge retainer.

      Note


      • Do not use any tools other than specified in this operation. Damage to the fuel pump gauge retainer or the fuel tank may result.

      • Do not press down on SST excessively as this may make the fuel pump gauge retainer hard to rotate, and may damage components.

      • Make sure to rotate SST (handle) horizontally. If SST (handle) is rotated at an angle, SST may come off.

      • Do not spin SST too fast or use an impact wrench as this may result in damage to components.

      • If SST comes off of the fuel pump gauge retainer, loosen SST (bolts) and reinstall SST.

      Tech Tips

      The tips of SST (claws) can be fitted onto the ribs of the fuel pump gauge retainer.

    5. Remove the fuel pump gauge retainer while holding the fuel suction with pump assembly by hand.
