Before proceeding with the removal of the pump, disconnect the battery, remove the air filter housing, and locate the fuel system purge valve next to the throttle body, protected by a plastic cap (similar to the cap for the air conditioning recharge valve).

Press the Schrader valve to relieve any pressure in the system.

Now you can start removing the fuel pump located under the rear seat base, covered by a plastic cap: lift the seat base, remove the cap, disconnect the fuel connector and the supply hose. Then, undo the pump retaining ring and pull it out of its housing, insert the new one, screw on the retaining ring, reconnect the connector and hose, and refit the cap.
