Awesome video! It is very detailed, and helpful - thank you! I was able to remove the old fuel pump, and install a new one because of this video. :)

Thank you for the straight forward "how to". Confused myself for the moment when I thought I needed two pumps, one for each side, and only purchased one pump.

the most replayed spot is at 3:22 because everyone (as well as I in this exact moment who had to go to youtube to see how someone did it) could not get that giant sucker into that little tight awkward wet hole followed by the float all while holding that fuel line. you must get the float in first at angle then put the rest in, , thank you great video. cleared that right up. oh yeah its spring loaded, so you have to push it down to get that giant lock nut back on. (which feels like you might break it, but you wont)

To put the locking ring back on is pure hell

Thank you for this video. I was judt told by someone who listened to the pump through the open fuel cap that it was bad, so thus will be my first replacement in trying to get the car repaired. The car isn't in terrible condition but so many parts on it need to be replaced that it's not able to run.

Just did this install today and getting the locking ring on was pure torture the hardest part was getting the two back rings lined up and having to fight the spring-loaded pump didn't help either, thanks Ford.

Putting the locking ring back on is quite tricky, the opposite side of whichever side you tap with screwdriver can pop up and over the notch it needs to go into. Check that every notch is locked. I popped mine on (easily or so I thought) but 2 notches in the back didn't lock- when I went to gas up gasoline poured out all over the place. 2009 Mustang Bullitt #5858. Very helpful video.

Interestingly enough you can’t create a spark from hitting the plastic handle of a screwdriver with any kind of hammer but great video man very informative and good views of what you’re doing 👌👌👍

[jamesmarlowe]

Good video! I was shown to use a hammer and a brass drift to take the retaining ring off. Using the screwdriver and a hammer it could actually spark and cause an explosion. Use extreme caution ⚠️

Very helpful and very descriptive thank you

[robertknight]

Hey that was a great video enjoyed it if I have a problem with my fuel pump I'll know how to fix it thank you👍🐎

Putting back the locking ring is a pain. The new gasket was too thick so I had to reuse the old gasket and had someone help push the locking ring down while I tapped it back in place.

I changed my fuel tank so be careful if you do the same yes the arrow points out to the side of the car but be aware there are 2 tabs underneath the fuel pump and 2 notches in the gas tank the tabs underneath the top of the fuel pump must lock into the notches of the gas tank the tabs are shaped line the letter "L"

Ngl, well shoot that looks rather straightforward. The fuel pump in my manual 05 went out (not sure which one so I'll probably just replace both) so the car wont start at all. We ruled out the battery and air intake because the battery still had a charge and the intake was still pulling in air, it just wasn't getting any fuel.

That locking ring was the tricky part of this job. I had to re-use the old O-ring as the new one was too hard to compress. Then, I filed the leading edge of each of the engagement points so it would catch properly. POS...thanks FORD.

[jasonmejia]

Hello, I'm replacing the jet pump which direction should the arrow point to? The front of the vehicle? Thanks for the video!

[abrahamibanez]

I replaced pcv sensor, maf sensor, pcv hoses, rebuilt engine! I’m now at O2 sensor 1, am about to change the rest! But after all that prior to changing the O2 sensors I got the fuel pump codes. Which should I start with?

[Deathexia]

This would be for the 2010 model too! Despite its face lift, mechanically it’s really the same as the 05-09

[dontedq]

Does this one come with the fuel pump inside already or do I need to transfer anything over or this one is just the float only in spot A
