Nissan Repair: 05 Sentra S 1.8L, haynes manual, special tools


Question
Hi Von,
Can you provide the instructions to replace the fuel pump on my vehicle? Are there any special tools that are required?
Thanks much!

Answer
Rennie,

A ten millimeter socket, screwdriver, and a pair of pliers.  Use plenty of ventilation, as in do it outside and have someone standing by with a fire extinguisher.  Do it in the daytime so you will not use a drop light.  I once saw a shop burn to the ground because of a drop light and an open fuel tank.  Process is pretty simple.  Buy a Haynes Manual for pictures and such.  Take the back seat out and remove the cover and disconnect the connector and the hoses and bolts and gently pry up the unit.  Replace the pump and reinstall the unit reverse of removal.  Clean up all the gas and yourself and put the cover and seat back in.
