if your car still runs a little try to get the tank empty or try to syphon some gas out first. This way you don't have to get really high and covered in fuel. Then ......
Relieve the Fuel System Pressure .
best way to do this is disconnect the fuel pump relay and/or fuse and run the car till it stops. Or if you have a fitting on the fuel rail take a screwdriver and push the pin in.( watch out though because fuel will spray out. I usually put a rag over the screwdriver. WITH THE CAR OFF.) But then again if you are replacing your fuel pump you probably don't have any pressure.......

DO the reverse off this to put it back in. I am a certified ford tech and i tried to write some of this from the manual. Basiccally it's not that hard. Just take the seat out and then unbolt the cover from the tank and then take off the fuel hoses. Then take the pump assembly out. Then just dissconect everything to get the stupid pump out.

It should take about an 1hr to 2hrs depending on your shill level. But you might want to budget more time because it freakin cold outside. Just take your time so you don't mess anything up. Good luck!How to change fuel pump 94 ford aspire?
So just to get this correct it is as simple as getting the back seat out and then working the fuel pump out? you say your a certified ford tech, so how long should this take? i will be doing this in a driveway and its about -10 F in the mornings and that is when i will be doing it. So if i could get an estimate on time this will take that would be greatly appreciated.
