try using one of those tube wrenches that we found in your uncle's tool box, the ones with one end that's almost closed off

did u get an adjustable fpr? if not that fuel pump is going to be too big and override your stock fpr, its going to give you inconsistent air/fuel ratios

I agree with Talon. But as for disconnecting the old pump you might want a pair of gator grips or robo grips might help. Also spray it thoroughly with penetrating oil let it soak in might help a bit too.

awww man...

The fuel pump pushes the fuel out of the pump and through the line to the fuel filter, after that its pushed through the fuel pressure regulator which has a diaphram that regulates the amount of fuel that can reach the injectors, then the extra fuel is shot down the return line back to the tank.
