Jeep Repair: cherokee fuel pump, haynes manual, fuel tank


Question
hi, thx for taking questions on this. i was wondering how hard it was to change the fuel pump and strainer in a 89' cherokee. i know its in the fuel tank, and the shop wants to charge me 400-500 dollars. i looked it up on napa and a pump only costs 70 dollars. just wondering if i could do it myself. thx, and iam looking forward to your advice.

Answer
You will have to drop the fuel tank to remove the fuel pump.  It's not all that hard a job but before you start, invest in a good Jeep manual for your year and model.  I have a Clinton manual and a Haynes manual, both available from most any parts store for around $ 15.00.
