*1 | Fuel Tube Joint |
*2 | Tube Joint Clip |
*3 | O-Ring |
Remove the tube joint clip and pull the fuel tube joint out of the plug of the fuel suction with pump assembly.
Note
Check that there is no dirt or other foreign objects around the fuel tube joint before disconnecting it. Clean the joint if necessary.
It is necessary to prevent mud or dirt from entering the joint. If mud or dirt gets in the joint, the O-rings may not seal properly.
Only disconnect the joint by hand.
Do not bend, kink or twist the nylon tubes.
Protect the contact surfaces by covering the fuel tube joint with a plastic bag.

REMOVE FUEL PUMP GAUGE RETAINER
Temporarily install SST (plate and 4 claws) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
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.
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).
Install SST (handle).
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.
