Fuel Pump access

Ok, I want to know is when changing the fuel pump....

Is there access from the top? Like a plate covereing it.

If so...Where?
If not....Do I have to remove the rear-end?

You don't have to remove the rear end; you just lower the axle to the floor (remove lower shock bolts, remove sway bar end links, make sure you don't "hang" the axle by the brake hose- you need to loosen the clamp holding the brake hard line to the body), then unbolt your exhaust from the catalytic convertor and slide it out from under the car. Remove the heat shields that were above the muffler, and there's the tank.

DO NOT CUT A HOLE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR!!!!!! Do not let someone convince you that it will be easier that way because its not. it is dangerous and the cars chassis is weak enough and dont need hole being cut in it. Do it the right way like mentioned above.
